Hello.  I've become fascinated with the older mechanical player
pianos.  Recently I acquired an Aeolian upright Duo-Art player
piano.  I would like to find a compatible replacement motor.
It is a Holtzer-Cabot S18 1450 rpm 2.5 amp.

I've searched high and low for a replacement but to no avail.
Any suggestions where I could find such a replacement?  I'd
really appreciate any help.  Thank you.
