It looks like finding a replacement motor is going to be a challenge.
In the meantime I have fastened a turnbuckle between the magnet assembly and the frame so the resistance level can be mechanically adjusted. With this the machine can be used by setting a single desired resistance level for the workout session. If I can't find a replacement OEM motor It may be possible rig up a powered drive of some type with its own switch, separate from the Schwinn control panel, to permit manual adjustment while in use.
