Hi Everyone.
Red is starting to show her age. I played a few games today and her mouth isn't moving to the full extent. I have looked at the in-line parts and all seem fine, no broken teeth on any of the gears. I've reseated the connector for the motor on the small controller PCB and everything remains the same. Could it be that grease is needed or possibly that the motor is weak? I do have a video that I can try to share here. https://photos.app.goo.gl/2JiRZmy26pJZBNP99
Quoted from TOLLS:The gear cogs can wear and shorten and lose contact at end of the movement. Try manually moving the gears and see if any contact is lost. Gears shouldn’t be too hard to find to replace. While at it you could pull apart clean and lube the gear mech that attaches to the motor. The whole lot really should be done. The game is pretty old.
I know that the previous owner was meticulous and completely rebuilt Red and Ted but I will check as you've described. What type of grease/lube is recommended?
