My Royal paper shredder model VF1700mx has stripped one of the nylon (?) gears. It looks possible to replace. Are these gears avaliable today?

You will have to contact the ,manufacturers spares or service agent for the brand but generally if a gear has stripped, it is cheaper to junk it and replace it with a new unit

Paper is not grabbing - thus not feeding into shredder

Take a look inside at the cutting blades when it is running...do the cutting shafts turn??? it sounds like they ARE NOT. If they are not turning but you can hear the motor running then you probably have a broken gear, or striped teeth on a gear. You will have to open it up to see which gears are the problem...then you can contact Royal at 1-800-524-0799 for parts assistance.

I have a vf1700mx I think we ran it a little to long and now when you put the paper in the motor starts and makes a noise a little different from shredding but will not accept pape. The motor is running...

If the moter runs but the cutting shafts are not turning then you have likely stripped a gear.... unplug, open top to see which one the give Royal a call at 1-800-524-0799; they should be able to help with parts.
