Request for quick purchase of 2 P60 3nn (RS-395)

So I am asking all of the teams that bought ample extra banebot gearboxes, now that you have your designs and manipulators finished I'm hoping you have a few extra lying around the shop.
Because of the shortage our team ended up dissembling 2 cordless screwdrivers(Seen here) and inserting our 395's to power the top and bottom belts of our roller claw. It worked amazing in the shop through the hours of testing and thats the way we bagged it.
Fast forward to NYC and after our first match we discover the gearboxes gave out and some of the gears stripped inside. We spent the rest of the competition trying to fix them or find replacements; we never did. We had a backup screwdriver gearbox but the same thing happened to that one after a few minutes. Our bot never ran fully functional.
Now with SBPLI Regional in just 7 days there is no way an order from banebots will come in time. We never expected it to be a problem and now we're in an epic dilemma. Find replacement gearboxes or come up with a completely new manipulator before LI.
We have searched and searched and called and called but there are no gearboxes out there that will come in time, so now we turn to the CD community.

We are in need of two (2) P60 3nn Gearboxes for our RS-395 motors. 81:1, 104:1, or 132:1 (both the same gearing but can be any of the 3 options).
We are prepared to pay $75 a gearbox plus pay for expedited shipping to get it here before our regional.
This is our last option before having to ditch a design that works so well if it only had the proper parts to run it.

Thank you to any team that helps, it will be an extremely gracious gesture and any success throughout our season would be in debt to you.
