I would do it for half that :-)

Hobs are not that expensive:

In your position I would have (depending on the relative hub
diameters) turned off the existing teeth and pressed on a ring gear or
pressed the existing partner gear onto the hub of a new smaller gear.

I have actually made a few sets of repair gears for the apron of the
Rivett 608 for a few people. Rivett made their gear pairs in
pressed-together pairs originally.
