HP-97 printer gear Message #1 Posted by Nelson M. Sicuro (Brazil) on 8 Nov 2004, 1:44 p.m. Dear friends, Anyone know where do I find a replacement for that middle gear on the HP-97 printer? I already read the articles here about it, but I live in Brazil and don't know where to find gears like this. Its plastic material simply desintegrated! Any advice is welcome. Best regards, Nelson

Re: HP-97 printer gear Message #3 Posted by Nelson M. Sicuro (Brazil) on 8 Nov 2004, 8:30 p.m., in response to message #2 by Jon Thanks for the tip. I suppose that of the three items showing (G46-30, G46-30-Q12, G46-30-Q14) it is the first one, but I cannot download its datasheet in PDF - my browser (Opera) shows only a blank page, it downloads nothing. I have the Acrobat installed, the problem isn't here, but the web page doesn't support my browser for shure. Can anyone post a direct link? Thanks and best regards, Nelson

Sicuro (Brazil) Here's an article I wrote some time ago about 97 gear replacement. http://www.hpmuseum.org/cgi-sys/cgiwrap/hpmuseum/articles.cgi?read=84 I think that PIC has a minimum order size so the $7/gear figure is low unless you're ordering a lot.

Re: HP-97 printer gear Message #6 Posted by Katie on 9 Nov 2004, 8:11 p.m., in response to message #5 by Nelson M. Sicuro (Brazil) They're nearly impossible to find. I spent a great deal of time looking for them until I came across PIC. I still haven't found another source for them (4 years later) and the only other option that I came up with was to have them custom manufactured.
