Rescue 911
Gottlieb, 1994I'm working on a Gottlieb Rescue 911 and have an issue with the spinning beacon. If you look at the up close pic attached, you will see the gear attached to the end of the motor rod is worn down and no longer has traction. Even with a new rubber gasket installed, it will not spin the assembly. Is there a reliable fix for this without replacing the motor?
Thx,

Not that I'm aware of. It's not really a replaceable part, either. You could try scoring it with a dremmel tool if you have a pointy cone bit, but I probably wouldn't waste my time because of the worn area and since a new beacon isn't too expensive.

Look for a Peterson 771R or Wolo 3110-R. It's basically the same beacon, but with a car charger adapter instead of the mini fit jr connector.
