You could put an ad in the Wanted section of the Classifieds.


Here is a work-around you might find handy until you find the vacuum motor.

Those cannot be had.  They do pop up on Ebay every now and then, and usually sell for about $100.

Do the work-around Mernsy suggested until one pops up.

I thought mine was defective but took it off, took it apart, cleaned it and reinstalled it and it has worked fine ever since. That was about 3 years and 13K miles ago.
