Title: Starwars gears?
Post by: Lilwolf on March 15, 2005, 09:43:34 am

Anyone know if you can order the starwars gears anywhere?  I'm looking for the ones inside for up/down.

I have a Hydra control panel, but it has a scaled Y axis.  but it seems to have the exact same mounting bracket for the y Pot.  So I should be able to replace the current mechanism with some real starwars ones and have it work.

Thanks!

Here's an auction on Ebay. (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6162558227)

If someone wants to lend me some yoke gears, I could try to cast copies for you in Alumilite.

I've been watching that one.  I didn't want to spend that much for a set of gears (especially since they might not be in good shape) but am considering it.

Anyone out there know the size / tooth count on each?  I saw the sizes in another thread (old thread) but it was for the back two... and I don't need those.

Here you go.. $87 for a broken Star Wars yoke.  I assume a good one will sell for $200+ now

Hey I won that one!  I already have some original SW handles to finish it with.  Won't be too hard to make a cover plate either.  After seeing Oscar's I figured it was better to get that one cheaper if they are now going to be $2-3-4-500+, ouch.
I think someone (Oscar maybe?) had posted a part number from Mcmaster as a replacement part for the SW yoke.  It was a long time ago though.
When I get it, I can measure for you.

From some info I have:

wmberg.com

These are aluminum replacements:

The two small gears, forget which one goes where.
part #p24a66-14
part #f24d5-28

The big one's are trickier.  Everyone say you just need to ask them for this part# and to drill a 3/4" bore.  Only problem I believe is that is the diameter of the hub, so you need bigger hub too.
part #P24A68-60

I think this is a delrin plastic version of one of the 28-tooth one.
part #P24D28X-28


Let us know how it goes. I know some people have gotten them, but feedback is always good.

Edit:  Anyone got an extra springs, hardware stores around here suck?
