I understand that the early brass gear was noisy and this aluminum replacement wore out. Why didn't they make it of steel? Aluminum seems a stupid choice. There must be a way to remedy this.....Maybe I need to go find an old fashioned machine shop or a clock gear maker! John

With the lid down it is ok, but I am thinking of having a new gear made. Anyone got a junker with a gear that's not too badly worn? This is a beautiful and interesting machine, too bad it was such a failure.
