So I picked up a red Nemesis for $20 at a thrift store today.

It had a half-full hopper and brand-new alkaline D cells in it, but wouldn't spin up at all, so I figured I'd need to take it apart and look for broken wires. Luckily, BEFORE doing that, I checked all the safeties and found that the hopper door hadn't been snapped all the way shut, ROFL!

But with that little "issue" resolved, it would fire about 1 in 5 rounds like you'd expect, but the rest would literally "dribble" out the end of the barrel. The tumbler and feed belt drivetrain were both fine, and both flywheels were spinning up.

So I stuffed a popsicle stick down the barrel to test the torque. The left side motor had enough oomph to grind the popsicle stick into splinters, but the right-side motor would NOT spin up at all if it was met with even the tiniest amount of resistance.

So I'm going to assume these little motors aren't really serviceable and I should just plan to replace the fried one... but where do I find a replacement motor??

I don't want to spend $50+ on some crazy upgrade kit, I just want it to work again. Are the motors the same between the Nemesis and Zeus and Hera?
