Hey all, I recently bought a partially working Doctor Who and I need a second opinion before I buy a new motor. The mpf won't move at all, but I can hear the motor working during startup so I've gone and opened the gearbox. I need some opinions on these pics. Hopefully they show well enough on the forum to see what I see. The teeth for the bottom gear should come in contact with the small circle of teeth on the gear above it, but they don't. The teeth for bottom gear sit just under the small set of teeth of the upper gear.
It looks to me like the teeth on the upper gear are supposed to be longer and extend down to the body of the gear, and therefore this setup is toast and time for a new motor assembly, right?
