I have four of them in service, two bought new and two picked-up "used" after the performance issues became apparent. None of mine have had any problems with the gears, but NWSL offers replacement parts should they be required. I don't recall the price of the new ones, but I think that the used ones were around $90.00 each. Both were tested at the store before purchasing, so I knew that the gears were okay. This store seems to have a fairly constant supply of used ones, with two currently in their display case. One is listed at $90.00 and the other at $125.00. I'm not sure of the reason for the price disparity, although they may be "on consignment", with the seller dictating the price. Both appear to be "stock" versions, with no added detail.
