I've read all about the mythical Beefy Bodine, but I can't seem to find one for sale ANYWHERE. And believe me, I've looked. Apparently they stopped making them? If you got a hook-up for one, please let me know.

They were specially made for Xerox. I had been looking on ebay for gear motors for probably a month or two when it came up for sale. I purchased it from techsmart:

They don't have any for sale now and I'm not sure if they will since these were probably made in a limited quantity for Xerox. But I imagine it's a standard Bodine motor that was wired to Xerox specifications so there has to be other similar motors from Bodine out there. I wouldn't do a search by the model number as I'm sure it's a number they used just for Xerox. I would just search for Bodine gear motors.
