ONE PROBLEM:
As soon as we took ownership, the "electric" Sofa Bed quit working.
Normally it slides up and down at the touch of a switch.
Now its a real pain to try and get underneath to the Inverter & extra Storage.
Add to that my back says we ain't getting any younger!  
INVESTIGATION REVEALED:
The little gears in the little differential at the end of the Screw Jacks are stripped. They appear to be plastic or nylon gears (hard to see inside).
SEE ATTACHED PICTURE:
Inside the red circles are the little differentials (2). These contain the little gears (One for each side of the sofa bed). Located at the end of the screw-jacks and the cables.
I found a new "complete" replacement set (with more parts than I need) but it was $500.00!! - Not sure I want to pay that much or if I can even afford it right now.
QUESTION:
Does anyone know:
1. Can one get/buy NEW parts for these (the differentials or plastic gears)?
2. Does anyone know if one can buy these parts USED somewhere?
3. Any other solutions ??
Any ideas, tips or leads are great-fully accepted!
Thanks in advance!!

Hi Jim;
I have a Power recline Sofa in my 2001 Leisure travel van. The operating system appears to be identical to yours. Only one of two sides is operating, but it functions fine. However, I did track down a parts supplier that carries the parts required. I have not contacted them but will. Here is the contact that should lead you to them:
