I've actually purchased and used the small aluminum gear from WMBerg. It is a perfect fit. The yoke turns nice and smooth. I am a bit concerned that the aluminum gear may eventually wear on the plastic gear, but so far, I have no evidence of this. The only issue I had with WMBerg is the shipping/handling charge! I thought it was a bit excessive for the size of the gear. Good luck, 88mph |

which direction was yours for and which gear was it from wmberg? i can't really remember which one mine is since the yoke that's broken is in my closet, but i know i need one. i just wish the info available was laid out straight instead of listing 2 different gears. the rgvac thread i found didn't even list an axes, although we're all probably breaking the same one. |

Well, there is only one *really* small gear in a star wars yoke, and it is for the y axis. That is the one I replaced with an aluminum gear. The two gears for the X axis in the back are considerably larger. The gear I am talking about is the one that envelops the potentiometer shaft inside the front panel of the yoke. I ordered my gear based on the info supplied in the rgvac note. That small gear on the Y axis (inside the front cover) is the one prone to breakage. Good luck, 88mph |
