Elusive HafleXX motor for the ACL spotted in the wild!

[Jason Hinkle RIP]

A little while ago an ACL with a HafleXX motor showed up on eBay and the seller was kind enough to allow use of his photo on the eclair16 site. Check it out at http://eclair16.com/eclair-acl/acl-versions/motors/

 

I've had the page up on the site with that motor listed, but I have never been able to find a single photo of one. So, I assume they must be pretty rare. I thought it was pretty cool - it look surprisingly close to the same form factor as the original heavy duty motors.

 

Anyway, the auction appears to have come and gone with no bidders. At least for a while it can be found here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=271146964171&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123

I had a chance to examine one of those motors many years ago. It was nowhere near as quiet as the original Eclair multispeed motor.

Ah interesting. I was mainly surprised and curious because I had that motor listed on the ACL page (inherited from the old Geocities page) for years but never could even locate a photo of it.
