saba: 400 Vollautomatic Stereo/125C; Baden 125

Hi;

I recently joined radiomuseum and am hoping someone can help me source some parts for my SABA 400 Vollautomatic Stereo/125C console.  I have had the radio portion of the unit restored (bad tubes/capacitors/diodes/etc.) replaced, but there was no saving either the tuning or volume control motors.  Both motors had at least one bad coil (resistance <1kOhm).

 

I had a donor unit (410 Continental US) but the motors in it were also bad.  It was also not possible to remove the coils from one motor to add to the other, as the iron laminations of the core had expanded and were holding the plastic bobbins and coils extremely tightly.  Removal of the coils would result in destroying the plastic bobbins.

 

I am hoping someone may have a source for working motors in North America or Europe, perhaps from a parts chassis.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
