Capacitor Gearmotors, also called Gearhead Capacitor Motors, are Capacitor Motors conceptually if not physically  like the one in kinetics Display Object #5. The gear case reduces the speed and increases the torque. The capacitor on this motor is the oblong metal can with green terminals on top.
Capacitor Gearmotors are very expensive when purchased new, but several surplus suppliers are good sources. Some of them are H&R, C&H Sales, All Electronics, Marlin P. Jones & Assoc., and others.  See the sources page for possible vendors.
