I'm sure that if someone actually does the work and offers a full set of
good-quality 8640 gears for $50 or less, the customers will be there. At
least one, anyway! (raises hand) At $100 or more you are competing with
parts-mule prices, so it doesn't make as much sense to create new gears if
that's what it would cost. This is precisely the problem with Chuck's proposal. If one *has* the
parts mule generator, then one has the gears needed. Natural priority
is to repair your generator first and worry about finding the off-the-shelf
equavilents later. Tis fine with me. One day, you will want some gears, and there won't be any more parts mules available. I prefer to plan for the future, rather than eat the seed. But then I don't have a dog in this race. I was just trying to be nice. -Chuck Harris
