Oh... dear. I've been through that exact thing, with that exact motor. Good luck with getting one. Here's how far I got: the motor was made by Canon. Yes, they still have it in stock. No, they will not sell it to you - because that entire run of them was made by special order (the Autohelm folks) and those motors only go to them. No, Canon doesn't care that the company is out of business. You can get motors in that exact size and shape for ~$20 from a hobby shop - they're made for electric racing cars - but they spin *much* faster and take a lot more current (i.e., the Autohelm driver transistors will not be able to handle them.) I ended up buying a new autopilot altogether.
