Interesting...and a whole lot cheaper than a new motor. How many wires
does the JMI motor have? This thing has 6 wires and a flat 6 pin female
connector. Any idea if all those wires are being used? They must be
there for something. I figure they might be there for the various rates
or something.

Could be a problem if I wanted to hand hold the corrector with that
transformer hanging off it, but I could tape it on with duct tape or
something.

Any idea if the rate of the motor was right or any reason to think it
might not be?
