they don't have to say DEC on them.  look for motors that have the same volt
and amp ratings, and that will fit in there easily and you should be fine.
also, i forget who said something about it, but pull out all the brushes and
check them out, if these things ran 24/7 (which they did) the brushes would
have takes quite a bit of wear, it may be worth your while to buy new brushes
for all the motots since brushes are cheap.
