Just a few suggestions:

1) Make a friend at a precision machine shop that has an optical comparator. You'l be able to look at the gear in excruciating detail and make all the measurements you need.

1a) Take a good, sharp close-up photo, making sure that the camera is square with the gear. Blow it up to several times actual size and take your measurements off the print. You can help this along by including a ruler in the photo for scale (or scribing some lines on the gear).

2) send the busted gear to Boston Gear and ask them to match it. Make sure to talk to someone first and to provide a return shipping label.


Thanks - I'll keep those in mind.
