[TowerTalk] Looking for gear.

[john at kk9a.com]

A few years ago I need a spur gear for a TIC Ring Rotator that was
unobtainable from the manufacture. I could not find a matching one at any
gear supplier either so I purchased gear stock at McMaster-Carr. I have
access to a machine shop and I was able to cut it to length, bore the
hole, etc. In another instance when I needed a gear I found a very similar
one and just had to bore and broach the hole to fit the shaft.  So look
for something close and then bring it to a machine shop.

Hi.

I am looking for a spur gear / pinion to fix an or2300 rotator.
It's a 18 tooth 24 DP Gear 1.5 inches in length.
I can't seem to find a European source for a gear like this. Does anyone
have a
supplier or know where to get it?

Best regards
