Ethan ( et al ),
On my 1020s the shaft diameter is 0.060 " on the gear in question. I hope
this helps. The gear listed below has a bore almost 2 times too big. I can
ship you small parts (i.e. things that will fit in an envelope). I have
several 1020s still in the original unopened boxes and some that have been
parted out. Biggest problem is still the ink ...
Best regards, Steven Canning

I have several mechanisms, some as printers

don't think I have 4 good gears in the entire pile. Anyone here ever
come up with a solution?
Would any of the stuff that Small Parts sells be of any use?

This is the only one with the right number of teeth (14), but I can't
verify the other measurements because my plotters are 10,000 miles
away...

GDS-3214
14 teeth / 0.438" pitch dia. / 5/32" bore / 5/16" hub dia.
$2.00 ea / $18.13 for 10 / $41.20 for 25.
If this part matches the specs for the plotter gear, that'd be great.
I was unsuccessful in googling any old articles about this topic. I
remember it being discussed in mid-2003 (based on where I was working
at the time), perhaps May, if that helps. If anyone has any of the
former discussion and can cough up the shaft diameter and the pitch
diameter of the gear, that'd be what we need to see if this is the
right gear.
