Need spindle motor replacement for Sony SCD 777ES.

I’ve tried every source I know of to find a replacement for the the spindle motor in my SCD 777ES. Just had a Sony certified master tech test the unit, and he concurs with the diagnosis. I am the original owner, and although it’s been replaced by a newer digital source (a 5400 player), I would dearly love to get this old gem working again. Help me Obiwan discussion watchers; you are my only hope.
