I was looking into getting one of these motors for another project a while ago and found this:

?
I¡¯m not sure if it will work, and I did not buy one yet but thought I¡¯d pass this on to you as a possibility.
I wasn¡¯t happy with the replacement cost from either Micro-Mark or LMS.

Hi group
I have a 5200 LMS lathe, and I think the motor is gone.
It need a manual twist ?to run and the motor make a lot of noise.
Sometimes ago the motor make a lot of noise, and I took out the rotor.
The axel under the bearing was very worn, I did something and it has worked ok until today.
A new LMS 4145? 500 Watt Brushless DC motor will cost me 350/400 USD.
So before I order, I ask my group :
is it possible to get a new motor that can replace and fit to my 5200 lathe ?
350/400 USD Is nearly 1/3 of a new lathe? :-)
If someone have some experience with this motor or similar , you are welcome to give me some advice.
Best regards
