Default Replacement electric motor

I have some suitable DC speed controls, but no suitable DC motors

I have the 12x33 HF lathe. It's fine for most uses but turning larger
platters and bowls just takes more than the motor has to give. I am not
familiar with the name of the motor mount it uses, but it for certain
isn't the NEMA 56 mount. This thing mounts from the nose of the motor (not
the strongest of mounting points).

I'd like to upgrade to a 1-3 hp motor using 110v. If I could get a DC
motor in that power range with a speed controller I think I'd be so happy
my wife would not recognize me.

So, if anyone has a source for motors for this contemplated upgrade, now
would be a good time to speak up.

Bill
