Have a project that needs a low voltage, preferably 24 VAC, motor...
Final output will be about 5 rpm, but I have freedom to build in as much
reduction as I need, McMaster and Grainger don't offer much in low V ac
motors, anybody got a good source? Only need one, budget in the $100 or
less range.

Found one there that will do the job just fine. Thank you (and
everybody else) very much.

Surplus center is the best bet. Might be more selection if you could go DC.

It would help a lot if you gave some sort of idea how much power/torque
you need.

Also, you might find that running the 24VAC though a bridge rectifier
would give you a lot more choices plus reversing capability.
