Tooling and testing for the Boston Model 17 Pencil Sharpener replacement gear are now complete. Replacements have been tested for fit and functionality, and are now available. I have already posted a listing on ebay for this part. The current listing item# is 130419932867 or try this link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130419932867Clarification on earlier posts - this gear is only for use with the Model 17. The Model 18 replacement part is only interchangeble for use with Model 19.
Woot just bought 2 on Ebay. It seems like the OE gear was either self lube or coated. Can't tell from the pic, but I might grease these when I get em'.
ReplyDeleteWorked Great!!! I put the gear on my Model 18 and it works great! The unit ran when I plugged it in, so I had to reconfigure the switch, which was easy. It was so much more satisfying than buying a new one; got to see how it works, and I get to keep my same pencil sharpener that I've had since school. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteAre you going to make any more model 17 gear wheels? I looked on eBay and couldn't find any.
