Hey milemarker, I think that was SurplusCenter.com that sold the similar motor for $3.00. I use the ones from electronic goldmine and they have quite a bit of torque. I'd recommend using a wall wart rated at 500 milliamps or more to power it. E.G. has those too for around $4.00. If imagineer's ghost is not too heavy it may work, just have to try it.
I found it:

I still don't understand why they describe the motor as "intermittent duty". They are continuous as far as I know.

That sucks but I still can't help but giggle at imagining what that must have looked like

I guess it was similar to using a gas lawn mower as an FCG mechanism, with the blade as the crank!
(Don't try this--it doesn't work. Believe me, I know!!)
