1958 "Players Choice" Chicago Coin Bowler

I am searching for a ball lift motor for my 1958 "Players Choice" Chicago Coin Bowler.
I know the part number is #5757-237 and that it is a 40 R.P.M. motor made by Merkle-Korff Gear Co. I contacted the company, but they have no replacement or recommendation .
Does anyone know someone who might have this particular motor for sale or another motor that would work as its replacement ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
 
i have a ball lift motor from a Bally Challenger ball bowler? i dont know if it would work on your game? i will see if it has any info marked on motor

I would try the St Louis Ball Bowler company first... http://stl-bb.com/

And then i would try Pinball Salvage. They might have some Ball Bowler parts.. http://pinballsalvage.com/
 
hi, the lift motor i have from Bally Challenger ball bowler does work, i just tested it, if you are interested and if it will work on your machine. ? I also have the belt, it is in pretty bad shape but the ball holders are there and could be transfered to newer belt etc.?
 
Thanks for such a quick reply.
Could I please bother you to see a pic so I can see if I could possibly adapt it to my game?
My game has a chain with the ball holders attached, instead of a belt, and a gear type adaptor that slides on the motor's shaft. It tightens down with screws. It is like the chain
mechanism on a chainsaw.
 
heres some pics i can get more if you need a certain angle/closeup etc.?
