Looking for (idler?) gear wheel of HP-46 printer unit

RE: Looking for (idler?) gear wheel of HP-46 printer unit
On a separate subject & because I forgot to try it before bolting the printer back in.....

The printer cable appears long enough for PCB connection & sitting the printer outside the case on the table. The printer might need to be oriented backwards. This may allow previously mentioned O-scope testing. Don't know where the test points are.

When testing the resurrected on/off switch the cable hung out the notchy gasket between the top & bottom halves of the case. Didn't bolt anything down; put the cable in a notch & set the top case on. Figured if a capacitor exploded on me the weight of the top case should be enough.

This might work with the printer cable. If test points are on the PCB lifting the printer lid may allow access.

Just a thought.
