Looking to pick up a spare Auger motor, I have a Merkle-Korff 1 RPM on there now which I have replaced at some point, I have read that the Volgelzang 5790 takes a 1.5 RPM Motor and also have read it is a 1 RPM ( Not sure what came on the stove as I no longer have it ). Gleason Avery is about half the price is one better than the other?
Specs appear close but not exact.

Thanks
