rocky2 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Hi Jeff My DW gearbox had the same problem. I couldn't use it so I drilled the rivets to get the cover off. i found that one of the gears was slipping on the shaft. I took it to a friend who braized them together again. Used nuts and bolts to put the cover back on. This happened about 4 years ago and it hasn't missed a beat since. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alas, though, it is no excuse for a visit because the spare is sitting under the machine in the games room (I think - i know the main playfield is anyway, surely the mini is with it ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
