    Wondering if anyone has a fix (or a known replacement part) for the issue of the broken gear in the tuning capacitor mechanism? The original part is MITSUMI, PVC-2LXT-LDG, which seems to be no longer available.

    Thanks,
    John

    Hello John,
    When I get my 3d printer later this year maybe I can design and print some up Also you could down load free 3d drawing program and design your own and places like PCB way will print it for you .
    Sincerely Richard

    Richard, thanks for the response. Am happy to wait to see if you can print some up later in the year. Happy to pay up to $80 for one :)
