on second thought, i should check and give you a bit more input.

Hey there.  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,

Flinkly:

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,
