Quoted from surfsled:Hi
I have a Funhouse I have restored with a new p/f from Gene.
The Rudy mouth gear keeps stripping out (half-moon one) and also the round one once.
I have gotten both NOS gears and ones from Marco. I also tried lining up the gears better under the p/f.
Does anyone have a similar problem and a solution? I am tired of spending money for gears and replacing them.
thanks!

The only issue I ever had was with the repro gears I had purchased about 8 years ago. That set broke, so I re-installed the original set and have had 0 problems with them. There is a guy on ebay selling metal gears. They are super pricey (about 90 bucks PER gear!) but I am guessing they will solve any breaking issues.
Is it the right motor under the PF? I could see too strong of a motor constantly stripping gears.
