Quoted from Meekins:When I read the review I was so hurt that we stopped making them.
Somewhat of a lame excuse to stop manufacturing this part.
If you've moved on to bigger and better things, good luck!
However, just be real and say that! 
Funhouse is almost 30 years old. Mine has the original plastic gears with no issues.
The plastic repros may have been made cheaper than the factory ones.
Quoted from stangbat:The problem was the white plastic ones in the photo. They were a terrible repro and the teeth stripped in no time. Sellers quickly pulled them after complaints.
I bought one of Al's gears years ago as a backup and haven't had to use it yet.
That's what I figured.
Plastic or metal, you still need to have a good lubricant on the teeth.
