The sams has a part number for the entire motor, but not just the gears.

I glued it back together, and it seems to be holding. I glued not just the plastic bits together, but also glued it all to the shaft, thinking that would make it hold together better. Like I said, it seems to work, but if I ever do need to replace it, now it won't come off so easily.

The range on the remote is greater than any other I've had, with the set in the livingroom, I can walk to the back of the kitchen (more than 20' away where there's no direct line between me and the set) and it still works. And I actually kind of like having the transistorized remote receiver, I don't have to turn it on and let it warm up before I can use the remote to turn on the set.

The reception on this set is also better when hooked to the antenna in comparison to my other roundies.

But, the uhf doesn't work at all. Turning the uhf tuning knob has absolutely no effect on the picture. Now I checked to see if there was power getting to the uhf tuner, and there was. I also plugged and unplugged the wire carrying the signal from the uhf to vhf tuner, and this does cause effects in the picture. So I'm thinking the problem has to be internal to the uhf tuner.

...

The problem with the uhf also appears to be mechanical. The tuner was frozen stuck, and rather than turning it, when I moved the controls, it just pushed the tuner at a slight angle to the gear turned by the control. So when I turned the knob, it wasn't actually moving the tuner. I won't know if there's anything else wrong until I take this apart, clean and lube it up so it turns easier, then put it all back together, but I suspect that this is it. I also need to replace the light bulb for the uhf.
