You know those tiny inserts in timers and clocks that crumble after time.
They are the plastic pinion gear that fits into the magnetic rotor of
the common Intermatic timing motors.

Does anyone have a source for just these pieces? I have several
appliances that are either inoperative or from which I've been
"borrowing" these pieces to fix others.

A typical motor part number is WG-1420-1.

Thanks.

Do they have to be plastic for noise or vibration reasons ?
I ended up with a load of clock repairers spare pinions , but all are brass
or steel or combination of both.

The material probably doesn't matter but the specific part I'm referring
to actually fits into a mating recepticle - it isn't a gear that goes on
a shaft.
