I just ordered the gears, that are still available from HERE:
Mikroantriebe KK Produkcja Zahnrad, Schnecken und Car System Onlineshop*-*Zahnrad / Trieb M0.25 / 13 Zähne
If you order you must change the drill/hole diameter to 1.5 mm
Change the width to 2.0 mm
and the material to brass
with shipping, for three of these gears, the cost was $20.93 USD
On the 4th page of this thread is the procedure that works for replacing just the gear, without the complete removal of the motor.
I will report back if/when I manage the repair on my ZX-M and ZX-5
Eric would not repair my ZX-M as he cannot get the correct pentax parts. I wonder if he might be willing to order these gears and just replace the gears.

This was taken on a somewhat hazy/cloudy day, I handheld, but used a roadpost to help stabilize.
This camera was just returned to me with new bellows and CLA. I am quite happy with this camera!

I shot more frames, but it was outside and I missed the damn pole sticking up in the middle of the shot.
Arggh.
Reshoot inside with controlled set up.

Shot on Ektar 100, unicolor, Voigtlander Avus, 6.5 x 9, Rolex rollfilm adapter
Pocket litter. Yes, this is some stuff I commonly carry in my pocket, the leaf ended up in the pic, because it flew up into my hand when I was digging stuff outta my pockets.

Shot a roll of Kodak Ektar, in my Lubitel, Unicolor
 2017-05-13-0010b by 45 Mike Anderson, on Flickr
Used a tripod, slow shutter large aperture, kinda like this one in a LOMO sort of way, almost dreamy look

With flash

After some work, moving the fence to BEHIND the flower bed for my mom.
 2017-05-13-0001b by 45 Mike Anderson, on Flickr
After the last roll, I decided to test the focus and it was way off, I adjusted that back to the best I could manage without 4 hands, the cogs did not jump, it was just way off.
Flash hand held, this is my new baby crown

Finished the expired film pack of Tri-X, Rated at ISO25, and processed it in PaRodinal in a Doran Tank at 100:1
A couple had serious light leak issues, but a couple managed to come out.

I concur.
My K-30 is broken, it is in the basement on a shelf waiting for some determination of the cause, and a known repair path.
Until that time as I am confident that the root cause is positively identified, and a fix available to address that root cause, it will remain in disrepair.
I have other cameras that I can use. Yay Pentax lens interchangeability!
That is my position, and it is that way, because I am not willing to attempt myself, or pay for a repair based on speculation and voodoo.
I am happy that others are attempting to work out a solution, Keep at it. I just don't see a root cause that has been positively identified.

I processed some film out of a Tri-X film pack I bought online for my new 2x3 Crown Graphic in DIY PaRodinal Rated at ISO100
The pack had 15 shots left, #2 was ruined, because someone opened the dark slide.
#3 was ruined as i tried to figure out how to unload the pack and it dropped on the floor in the dark.
#4 was ruined as well, and I don't know why.
However the first shot, that someone took many many years ago survived.

Shot #5 survived, and I got a hummingbird, but I was focusing with a chunk of plastic hed by hand inside the roll film holder rails, LOL
 2017-05-06-0002b by 45 Mike Anderson, on Flickr
# 6 and #7 were processed in D-76 and though they survived, they are just bad shots
I just finished off the film pack today, and will process with a slightly higher concentration of PaRodinal, also, I exposed these last shots at ISO25 or so.

I agree. My k-30 has been sitting unused since it became obvious it has the failure discussed here.
I am hesitant to attempt the repair, and I am not convinced that the solenoid is the problem.
I have a *ist DL which apparently is having the same problem, and apparently has had that problem since the day I bought it. Perhaps not, but I have several hundred images from that body that are VERY underexposed, and a bunch that seem to be fine. Intermittent aperture problem?
I am using my K-x now, and it seems to keep clunking along happily.
If I replaced the solenoid, in the 30, I am certain that I would always be apprehensive about that critical shot, ruined by a recurrence, because the actual root cause was NOT known and solved.
I did troubleshooting for H-P, and the comments in this topic do not measure up to the standards of troubleshooting needed.
I appreciate the videos, pictures and comments attempting to figure out what is really going on, but again, I have not seen any compelling demonstration of correct troubleshooting applied to the problem.

Short story. Last weekend mom came home and showed me stuff she bought at a yard sale for $20.
She knows I like photo stuff, so she got me this box looking thing with armholes covered in black heavy fabric.
Yep, a portable darkroom! Yay.
But wait, ther is MORE, if you order right now, and OPEN the box, inside I find a roll of 70mm perforated WL Kodak surveillance film!
YAY!
But wait, there is MORE, there is a Luna-Pro SBC light meter, the one that takes the 9V battery! YAY
Oh, we are not done, behind door number one, is a pristine looking Graflex Crown Graphic Graflok, 2x3 with a Mamiya 6x7 roll film holder!
Yeah, $20!! LOL, the furniture she bought was worth $20, so the box and contents was basically FREE.
Oh yeah. My only real complaint, (not really), is that the baby graphic does not have the focus screen and hood, and those seem to be impossible to find. The Kalart is a mess and will probably get stripped off as I use a focus GG mostly with the field cameras.
Anyways, just processed a roll of UFX through the roll film holder and am about to scan the shots. They look great, scale focus!
(BTW, we went back to the garage sale, and I snaffled 7 large boxes of assorted chems, papers, films and lenses and misc photo stuff for another $20.)
Most will go to ebay, but hey if I ever need to make a 24 x 36 print, I have a few sheets of paper, LOL

A few more from Lubitel 166B, UFX 100 120 roll, souped in parodinal, 4ml in a 20oz gatorade bottle. I dunno what dilution to call that. 1 hour semi stand.
Got a light leak, think I got it fixed now. It looks like some fog in this shot, so I cropped it to look like low flying cloud.

Racks, used self timer on tripod, and the light failed, and the shadows died about the time the shutter fired.
