"cheaper to find a good used one"
Probably... the one I have now was free. I was reading about the worm gears- they found some Bell and Howell projectors in a government warehouse that were still new-in-box. Never been used. Every single one of them had a cracked worm gear. They seem to actually last longer getting regular use. Mine was working fine until it sat for 5 years- it broke just sitting there. The replacement gears have a different design so they won't crack. I'll have to think about how I'm going to proceed.
