Have any of you tried to take the gear off the shaft, squeeze it shut and somehow glue

FWIW I had a CGP-115 years ago. It split the gear also. I tried to buy one from Radio
Shack but they wanted me to pay their technician for an hour's labor to
"verify" that the gear was bad. RIGHT! That was THE last time that I ever
bought ANYTHING from TRS! I later ran into someone that was a regional manger for TRS, I
told him about the trouble that I'd had tying to get the gear. He ordered a package of
six of them for me at no charge. So the gears are (were!) available. I used one of the
gears and never used the others but I have no idea what happened to the rest of them.

Yes, it's true, the pens for the TRS-80 PC-2
plotter
are the same as the TRS-80 CGP-115, and the same as
the Atari 1020 plotter.
I recently bought some from http://myatari.com .
Right.
Of course, I haven't gotten my plotter
working yet - a
cracked gear, of course.
I've written to them - they have dozens of plotters with cracked
gears. :-(
