Atari Yolk 14 tooth gear Repoductions
<< < (3/15) > >>
TheShanMan:
I'm sure I saw that gear on ebay for cheaper. Anyway, you can buy direct from him on klov for cheaper than the ebay price - on the order of $10 or so IIRC. I got the atari gear, the outrun gear, lubricant, outrun springs, and allen wrench for $35 shipped. Given the large size of the outrun gear, I'm pretty happy with that. A better reproduction would certainly be preferable, but this one so far works really well and very smoothly.

34k got the samples out to me quickly (Thanks!), so I decided to play a bit last night.



Bear in mind that the photo is showing these things at about 10x, unless you are looking at a 14" monitor, so the accuracy is quite good.

The one with the metal insert is the original insert with a new gear pressed onto it.  I would imagine that most folk with bad gears still have this part, so this is a good way to keep the cost of the repair down, and the repair is better than a fully printed part.  Anyone worried about durability needn't be.  I pressed one onto the hub and went through hell trying to get it off.  Ended up having to cut it, as it just would not break.

Now it just needs to be tested in the unit.  They mesh nice and smooth with the original broken gear, and with themselves, so I have high hopes.  I'll be sending these back to 34k for testing, and we'll see if any adjustments are necessary.

I'm sorry. These are the SW yoke gears right?

Yes, this 14 tooth gear is used on the Y-axis potentiometer in the SW yoke.

Any chance you'll be making 28-tooth gears, Randy?

Glad to send a slightly-warped-on-one-side 28-tooth and a good 60-tooth gear if you're interested.   ;D

Mmm, ABS 3D Printer. Nice work, Randy.

What printer, if I can ask? :)
