Small worm gearboxes 60:1 ratio

Anyone found a local source for small gearboxes?? Can't seem to find anything so far!

When I was researching batteries and chargers I saw this company had a load of electronics stuff including motors/gearboxes etc.

Located in Smithfield NSW, maybe they can help

Tried all the usual suspects ( including JayCar/ DS/ RS etc)
Someone suggested a windscreen wiper motor pull apart....

CBC have an imported Italian ( Motovario) aluminium boxed worm/wheel "NRV030" for about $150 which looks big enough, 30mm between centres

I have used windscreen wiper motor gearboxes on my scope, hardly any backlash, but a pain to mount though.

I used the make those in a previous life!!!!!
Anyway the CBC italian job looks great, and will certainly do the job.
