GE Spacemaker W/D - needs new motor (Oceanside, CA)

GE “Spacemaker” (GAS dryer/vented) is yours if you haul it away. NEEDS NEW MOTOR. Model: GRUP240GMSWW. The GE version today = GUD24GSSMWW and retails around $1,500. Your DIY talents can make it work again, but I was quoted $600 for parts and labor to fix. Dimensions: 23.75 wide x 73.5” High x 27” deep + 3-5” for venting. Thx for looking.
