Here is 5 RPM, but its 120 VAC. If you can't find one with the
voltage you want, a 120 VAC to 24 VAC transformer will step up the 24
VAC for you.

Minarik is an excellent source if you need new

Windshield-wiper or window-winder motors have lots of torque.

Dpending on the horsepower you need, you will have a LOT better luck
installing a rectifier on your prroject and looking at 24 VDC motors -
24 VAC isn't normally used for anything over sub-fractional motors in
the 1/50th and under range.

Budget "in the $100 range" totally eliminates getting something
built custom.

The only reason I can think of where AC is really necessary is you
need a synchronous motor for speed control - they make DC motors with
feedback controllers to hold the set RPM regardless of load.

I was about to mention that a full wave bridge would make a lot of motors
acceptable. That
is unless the op is using a vfd in the design.
