Hi all,
On round 2 of replacing broken top transmission plastic gears. For the price of rolling the dice on a used unit off eBay, I could also replace with brass gears that I stumbled across. This seems way more reliable and not something I’d have to touch again most likely.

What’s the consensus on brass aftermarket gears?

Here’s one I found on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/284765158336?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=Jr-yh-w1QEm&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Y6MlC0EuS96&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

(No affiliation) also happy to support a sponsor vendor or take recommendations on alternatives as well.


EDIT: Found this set of steel ones for the price of just 1 above. Anyone used these before? https://www.ebay.com/itm/363889557782?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110 006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D25314 4%26meid%3D8095e47f6ead462cab019c459b91a742%26pid% 3D101196%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D284765158336%2 6itm%3D363889557782%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D204 7675%26algv%3DSimplAMLv9PairwiseWithPLXWebFitmentF ilterConfirmFitSignalV2&_trksid=p2047675.c101196.m2219&amdata=cksum%3A3638895577828095e47f6ead462cab019c4 59b91a742%7Cenc%3AAQAIAAABEPYpaD8nYPH81DuZHNSX7lkZ 7%252Fj5mtRzXG6BtgnQ878e7BDosKQZZxEbE6miQX5LMoNqGW l4um1MkbSEJd3Z3wS0Bm%252FaF22%252FFZs7ddrJr4vn1STd 8iOpulT%252FpUEKHCkT010K%252BtrW8ADyNiwsFyZXkWnn%2 52BnwBfA32%252FS%252BzfZE3RkChHroRC7ec7Yg6Rot8G6aP NT1FquJwzaP8w7yFRF1%252BsXrKYS7UKJT7JDeTK%252FOw49 VrXYM1bFdDJpcWCfD116x%252Bcmkx5JZZgbVoqogevH50MPn2 ZYV3%252FiSRq0r7pa4RMUSG%252BGkggGwSZzI2%252BjHAHX dPofbehjDgWsaReDQCJn9Vkobm91vJtI%252Bk0WRP7jWNNaNa %7Campid%3APL_CLK%7Cclp%3A2047675
