Replacement gear for ZX/MZ cameras...

Wasn't sure if someone already linked this, but I found this online earlier and thought I'd share here for those that have a camera from the ZX/MZ line

And at the bottom, some info on who to go to to order the gearwheel from:

Has anyone here actually had this repair performed successfully on one or more of these cameras?

There was a member here some years ago - Violini I think was his name - who was capable with this repair. I have an MZ-7 that he swapped a metal gear into.
