I have dealt with Dan for a couple years. He sells good stuff.
He has a Yardbird Yahoo Group.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.
Kind of made the mistake of buying one of these.http://cgi.ebay.com/Yardbird-D8130-Can-Motor-w-fly-for-Mantua-Tyco-NEW-ITEM_W0QQitemZ270286382707QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item270286382707&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
Not trying to bash Dan or Yardbird here, but after my second one that also runs like garbage, I'm just opting to remove the worm and mount and use them on a CD Rom motor I already have that runs a LOT better. Any tips for removing the worm from the shaft? (WITHOUT buying a $20 mini gear puller) Also any tips for pressing it back on the new motor. I have a feeling pressing the gear on is what caused the problems on the two units I had.Aren't Machubi's made in Japan???(not China)
