I replaced my motor awhile ago and I got them from eBay.
Actually, I've checked out your page and the information and pics you provided were really helpful. The only diffuculty I had so far in the disassembly was opening the housing. You had indicated "prying" open the housing. I tried a box cutting knife in order to precisely separate the two halves. That didn't seem to work and after knicking my own finger with the blade a couple of times, I ended up using a dremel with a cutting wheel on one side of the actuator housing and then prying the housing apart. Not a clean separation of the housing halves as I would have preferred (at least on the seam I used the dremel on) but it did the job. For my future reference, how did you separate the actuator housing halves?
Now to finding a motor locally. I didn't have any luck after calling several hobby shops around here but I have a lead on a local electronic supply store called Halted in Sunnyvale, CA. They carry Johnson Electric motors as well as Mabuchi brand motors. I like to see before I buy. Anybody out there know which model I need from either Johnson Electric or Mabuchi? A manufacturer number would help greatly.
If they don't stock it, I'll just buy it off ebay from the same seller you bought it from.
