In general look at ROBOTICS sites on the web for good links and lists of
sources.

larger steppers are hard to find and are often hit-and-miss from any vendors
aside from those that charge so much nobody will buy them so they have them in
stock forever.

surplus center in nebraska has lots of motors and usually has some steppers.

bgmicro, all electronics, electronic goldmine have them on and off.

local thrift shops have an endless supply of printers and other junk often
containing steppers or servos.
