Thread: EMCO-Rex-2000

Found these, hopefully one of them is what you need because having one custom made will almost definitely cost a lot more than you paid for the whole machine (I work for a gear manufacturer, one-offs are very expensive)

thanks for that but that price is crazy $240 AUD is not cheap either.

Contact a gear manufacturer and let us know how much change you get from a grand to have one made. I'm not kidding, custom gears are expensive.

Reply from a non metal worker/welder.
Assuming the gear wheel is unusable.
Is it feasible to weld on some filler then grind down.
I might learn something from this.

It looks a lot like plastic to me, so I'm gonna go with probably not...

yes the gear is plastic.

elanjacobs do you know if there is any way of buying the 2 gears and then combiding them to make one?

Sorry mate, this isn't Lego anything you buy off the shelf will have to be modified to suit.

If you have a metalworking lathe and are comfortable boring out stock parts, making a shaft to suit and keying the parts in place, you could most likely make a serviceable replacement. If you have to pay someone else to do the work it will be significantly cheaper to just buy the proper part unless you have a mate who will work for beer (even then it'll probably cost a couple of nice slabs and I don't think you'll come out much ahead).

I know it's not what you want to hear, but just be happy that replacement parts even exist; with a 30+ year old machine that's not always an option
