I'm tossing it out to the community to see if we collectively could get this qty. I would take a few, (5-10) but not 50.

Please reply to the thread.

Do you have any sense how much they would be per gear? I would probably be interested in 5 to 10 depending on what the unit price would be.

I did get a gears that is the same pitch and number of teeth but I had to grind down the hub on the gear and it is designed for a larger shaft so I had to put a spacer in, it works, but the printer has a definite wheeze, if these gear are an aluminum duplicate of the original maybe they will be a bit quieter.

To answer the question above I don't fix calculators as a business, but I do fix my own and have fixed them for others on occasion.
