I am looking for a set of two (2) DC gearmotors:

1. Preferably 12V but will accept 24-28 volt

2. Shaft speed of 60 to 200 rpm at full voltage

3. Something like a auto power-window motor would be ideal

4. The two motors must be identical and reversible. (Yes, I know DC
   motors are *supposed to be* reversible by reversing the polarity, but I 
   also have heard that some motors, due to brush position/orientation/whatever
   are optimized for single direction operation and will be damaged if run for any 
   length of time in the wrong direction.)

5. They must be cheap! no more than $10 each

6. Must be local to Pittsburgh, PA so that I can get them easily.

Thanks
