Darren Wallace in Ontario, Canada had them. They were the correct pressure angle, too. Others made them, but the pressure angle was not correct.

Thanks for the kind words!

For those of you wanting one outside of this sale, please note I currently have no stock and will have to make a new run.

I make these myself, in my own machine shop.

Doing small runs of these are very time consuming and the correct material is getting very VERY expensive and harder to find.

My new price on these moving forward is $300.00 US each.

I also supply new CORRECT copper rivets and can mount your gear to it's assembly at an additional cost.

Respectfully submitted,

Hey Darren,
Oooops....I guess I missed out on Shawn's :cry:

But I'm curious...what exactly is a fiber gear made of? Did Berliner ever use brass for these gears since they seemed to be rather fragile.

Hi Bob, if you still need a gear, let me know. The material I use comes from an industrial supplier I found through work. I've always known it as fiber board. Berliner to my knowledge never used brass. Victor did, and they're (for the most part) noisy when they're worn out. The reason for the fiber gear was to mainly cut down on noise.
