Sharp RP-117 Drive Gear

[jcrags83]

I just picked up a near mint Sharp RP-117 turntable. It sat up in a cabinet for the last 15 years and, as expected, the lower drive gear is cracked. I am trying to find a replacement but I'm not having any luck. Somebody sold a couple on eBay earlier this year but there are no current listing. Does anybody know where else I might source one of these?

Welcome to the AK turn table forum.

You maybe able to reproduce the the "cracked gear " by 3D printing.

Best of luck with the restoration efforts.

It looks like I will have to turn towards a 3D printed part if I want to finish this project any time soon. I messaged a local printer on www.makexyz.com to see if he could/would take on the project. If so I'll probably get 5-10 spares made and put them on the bay at cost.
