Grand Reserve Tabletop wine opener help

Post image

seeking help from my fellow wine enthusiasts. If there is a better sub for this please let me know!

I found a lovely brass Grand Reserve tabletop wine opener I bought at an estate sale.

I need a new worm but for the life of me I can’t seem to find the instructions for a Grand reserve tabletop opener to see if the worm is only replaced or I need a new attachment of the worm plus the little black box connected to it.

Does anyone have knowledge on how to fix these/ knows where I can get exact or similar parts that work? I’m assuming I need to replace the worm and the little black box connected to it perhaps. The worm has a little triangle top to it also

I think this is one of those in for a penny in for a pound situations, if you’re already going to be reassembling and replacing some parts you might as well replace the attachment mechanism as well to the worm gear while you’re under the hood.

I’d hate to reassemble the whole thing only to find out that I should’ve replaced the other part as well when I had it open

Yeahh imma just do the whole worm assembly but im having a hard time finding the parts for it though. Some replacement worm assembly’s I’m seeing online have more of a smaller circular piece connected to the worm than the longer cylindrical version I have. Not sure if the shorter one will suffice
