[R-390] Motorola PTO

[Curt]

Not sure of which mfg, but Fair Radio is still advertising PTO's.  They 
are also usually available via eB&*Y.

See some additional Collins PTO internal rework.

Depending on condition,  you can check out a local electric motor repair 
shop.  They straighten small motor shafts all the time.
