Re: Wanted: Spindle and fiber gear for Polly Portable
It appears that the fiber gear has slipped down on the shaft until only the corners of the teeth were engaged, which caused them to break. Push the fiber gear back up the shaft as far as it will go and give it a try.
OR
If that's not the case. Push the gear off the shaft, flip it over, and press it back on. Should work fine.

Re: Wanted: Spindle and fiber gear for Polly Portable
I tried pushing it back down, to no avail. I will try removing it and flipping it over.

Fiber gear is not budging, so still looking.

Still looking. Would consider a rough looking machine with a bad spring. Open to options.
