Brilliant!

I'm having problems with a Sony FH-7's cassette deck at the moment, there is a gear made of plastic with the consistency of hard cheese that has stripped it's teeth, it stops the deck from lifting the heads into play. I've bodged it by sticking thin heatshrink over it, but it's noisy and surely can't be doing it much good. I'll have a dig around and see if I can find any gears suitable to make up the broken one.

Regards,
Lloyd
