I mean, I don't want to sound like a smart-alick or anything but essentially identical components go into custom gearboxes as anything you'd buy off of andymark.com.
The thing that makes the majority of custom gearboxes "custom" is the fact they redesign the mounting plates to get motors in a more desirable location, offer easier mounting to their manipulator/frames, and get the gear ratios to something suitable for their needs.
