[Milsurplus] Bendix TA-12 Question and antique cars?

[wf2u at ws19ops.com]

Jack,

This is a good exercise, as I'm working on putting my TA-12, MP-28,   
RA-10 system together (still looking for the control box for the TA-12  
but in the meantime I can jury rig a functional substitute).

I think you should be able to find a windshield wiper motor in one of  
the old car restoration parts catalogs, also try some used auto parts  
dealers/wrecking yards.
I'll ask a friend of mine who collects and restores antique cars  
whether he can recommend a source.
