Gear attached to the motor – part of Sony X-3356-638-1 Motor (Reel R) Assembly. Gear is also compatible with Sony X-3371-429-1 that is actualy a substitute part.
Replacement part was created using a semi-professional 3D printer. Slighty flexible material guarantees silent operation. The part was fully tested.
Motorised input rotary selectors ALPS ASD1017 / Yamaha VT148400 were used in several Pioneer, Onkyo, Yamaha vinatage amplifiers. There were plastic gears that cracked during the time..
Replacement gears were created using a precise 3D printer and tested for correct operation.

The gear RDG0034 was used in 90’s Technics/Panasonic drive mechanics. It is attached to motor that is driving tape transport. It sometimes tents to crack during the time.
Faulty gear can be replaced with 3D printed one. This type of drive mechanism is quite easy to disassembly – just follow service guide steps. You can find the gear here in schematics:
The gear RXG0009 was used in 90’s Technics/Panasonic drive mechanics. It is part or mechanism that is driving tape transport. Because it was made from semi-flexible material it tends to crack during the time.

Many Technics/Panasonic tape decks utilize a specific gear for tape transport. These gears were made from semi-flexible material, which tends to crack over time, especially since they were manufactured in the 1980s and 1990s.
You can identify a problem with this gear when you hear a ticking noise during playback. Eventually, you may find that you cannot play the tape at all, or you can only play it in one direction if you have a reverse deck.
