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.
