Repairing a Merry-Go-Round Music Box?

Repairing a Merry-Go-Round Music Box - carousel music boxI have a San Francisco Music Company Merry-Go-Round. The music works, but not all horses go up and down. I cannot remove the center post. I can get into the bottom, but how do I remove the tent top and get inside where the horses poles operate?

I would take this to a jewelry repair shop. They have the tiny tools needed to get into the mechanism.

The brass ball on top unscrews and allows the top to be removed. I was then able to remove small screws on the underside of the top. There were six gears with a small plastic spur gear pushed on the end of the shaft. The shaft is approx.

2.95 mm in diameter. The gears had an outside diameter of 7 mm. and are 5 mm wide with 12 teeth. I ordered them from China through eBay, 10 gears for $1.49 plus shipping. I found the original gears to be cracked and broken.
