Update, and end to this: well, I got a motor from a retailer on eBay. Got the replacement motor for $125. Put it in yesterday, it works great now. Was a bit of a challenge, had to take the old motor out, put the new one in while up on a ladder. had to have my son hold the roller up with a long pole why I got the new motor in place.
I haven't put the 3 rivets back in yet to hold the end cap on. Decided not to put rivets back in, it's too precarious a position I'd be in, up on a ladder. That, and never worked with rivets, a bit nervous about doing such for first time when up on a ladder. A couple of sheet metal screws (self tapping) will work just fine and be much safer to put in. Got the screws yeaterday, going to put them in later.
Very happy to have this done, and having done it myself and saved a good bit of $$.
Congrats: Happy you got it working. :B
