I've got a Funhouse that I maintain that is on location. I recently installed a new replacement gear and sector (from Marco Specialties). After less than a month back on location and around 300 plays, the gear already has two broken teeth, which causes the gear to get stuck on the motor, etc.

I found this replacement gear on eBay and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with it:

ebay.com link: Funhouse Roadshow Pinball Mouth Gear Made in Metal to replace faulty Plastic

It's a bit pricey but I'm thinking it might be the way to go since this machine gets quite a bit of play.

Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have the black, plastic derelin version of the sector and that is holding up fine. Does anyone make a black derelin version of the big gear? I'm afraid if I purchase another white plastic gear it's just going to break again.

I see Pinball Life has a version of the gear and it's black.

Anyone know if it's better quality than the white one that Marco Specialties sells?
