My point was, browsing ebay for something usable can often be frustrating and fruitless. Most people (including my self) wouldn't know a thing about that motor. I googled it for a few minutes before posting my 1st email and was coming up with zilch. He was able to easily pick it out as useful, because he was first at least a little familiar with the model. I've had a little experience searching up data on old Electrocraft motors, and I was eventually able to get it after a few days of email exchanges with some techs at Electrocraft. Fine for a motor in your hand, not worth the effort when browsing ebay.
