I also have had an order in for this motor for more than a month, which 
appears to be identical to the blower motor in the TT Titan 425.  The 
Alpha part number is BLX-X129 and it is manufactured by McMillan.  (The 
original manufacturer for the Titan motor appears to be out of 
business.)  I'm told that McMillan won't sell fewer than 500 at a time. 

I haven't reported this info previously because I wanted to be dead 
certain that these motors were indeed direct replacements for the 
Titan.  At this time, I'm about 99% sure that they are.

73, Joe
