Loking for Gear Motor Sources

In summary, the conversation revolved around finding a gear motor for a low budget project with specific specifications of 110v voltage (or 12v if the price is right), 15-20 RPM, 100 inlb torque, and a preference for quiet operation and reversibility. Additionally, a soft start and stop feature and built-in rotation tracking capability were mentioned as bonuses. The conversation suggested searching for surplus gear motors from various sources depending on location.

I am looking for somewhere to get a gear motor for a very low budget project, specs as follow:

Voltage = prefer 110v, could be 12 if the price is right
RPM = 15-20
Torque = 100 inlb
Quiet as possible
Reversible

Something else that would be a bonus:
Soft start and stop, gradual start up so it is not an abrupt shock when it kicks in
I have to beable to track the rotation of the motor so I can program various start and stop points. I have another method of doing this but something built into the motor would be far easier.
