We're trying to get our electric fireplace working the way it's supposed to again, it heats and blows the air okay, the motor that operates the visual effect just rocks back and forth instead of turning.  It looks similar to this one, but with an offset output shaft that is round instead of "D" shaped.  Also is only 22 rpm, 115 V, 4W, 60 Hz, and clockwise.  I also do not see a capacitor.  I can make anything that meets the electrical and shaft specs (looks to be about 3/16" x 1" out the back) work, as long as the motor body is under 2.5".  It also says "Synchronous Motor" at the top, and gives a part number of "TYJ50-8A", but searches with those specific keywords come up empty for me.  Also hoping to have it here for a total of less than $50 with shipping.

Can anybody help?  I have faith in ya'll.

Thanks Arcs...was hoping you'd show up today and see that.  Was close, but I think I found one at that site that's closer and could work.  Gonna look at it at work tomorrow and maybe order it.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
