Stake out behind restaurants. They throw out the very expensive equipment sometimes because a board is bad, or a refrigerator leaked.
Mostly fan motors, but I've found quite a few dishwashers, tables, and bar equipment is a big one. They usually swap the small stuff out themselves.

repair/automotive shop estate/auction sales

usually easy to fix the 'broken' ones, so those are free/cheap

Shop power tools, like table saws. They often have 3/4 and 1 HP motors. Sometimes more. They are generally about 3450 RPM and 110v (here in the States at least). I've seen people selling old 'junk' table saws for $25-$50 when the motor in them is worth that much at least. Especially if it's a rusted up piece of shit, like an 80s Craftsman/Powr-Kraft. You can get it super cheap, salvage the motor and scrap everything else for a buck or too.

Don't do that with really old tools, though. You can often sell them on OWWM.org for a profit. Or use them yourself. You can't buy for under $2k a tool as well build as a 1960's or earlier quality tool you can get used for $100.
