Setup for another run of the Model 18 and Model 19 replacement gear is in still in progress. We had expected to make this available on Monday, 4/8 but the listing will not go live until Friday, 4/12.
After the setup is complete there will be a couple of runs made to increase availability and duration of the next listing. All items are tested and pre-packed before the listing is posted.
A long-overdue "Spring Cleaning" is under way for the blog and for the eBay listings. Additional photos are being added to listings to provide more details on the items sold. Photos will also be added to show examples of the sharpener models repairable by each particular item listed. A FAQ will also be made available to help answer some of the common questions related to repair and the service included with purchase of a replacement gear.
4/12 UPDATE - A run was just completed last night for this part and it will be available later today as soon as testing is complete.

January 2013 Update
This is just a quick update to mention that I'm still making replacment gears for the Hunt Boston Model 17, Boston Model 18, and Boston Model 19 electric pencil sharpeners.
I am noticing from the comments/questions that people are not seeing current ebay listings for these items. The reason the listings end is that they are set to close when no more inventory is available. My plan is to keep this support going - if you don't see a current listing, one will be up soon. These are being made in small runs and we only list what is ready to ship out by the next business day.
I am about to do another run of the Model 18/19 replacement part and will get the listing up by Friday, 1/25. The Model 17 replacement part available and listed.
To find current listings, search for "Boston Pencil Sharpener Gear" in eBay. My seller name is valens61.
Happy (very belated) New Year! ***-

Link updates for current eBay listings
4/23/2012 - The job for Model 17 and Model 18/19 replacment gears is currently being re-tooled. A small batch of each will be listed again soon.
11/13/2012 - Made some changes to the production setup to prevent frequent inventory shortages that automatically disable eBay listings.

Production and Availability Update
There have been many requests on availability for the Model 18/19 gears and the Model 17 gears. This is a home-brew effort and periodically the setup/trial-and-error has to be re-approached from scratch. Also, nothing is listed until available and all items are tested before shipping. For these reasons there may be a short runs until the wheels are turning again so keep checking here for updates.
Jan 28th - After many delays, both gears are now available on ebay again. I am going to remove references to any inactive auction numbers to prevent confusion. Both listings can be found by searching for "boston pencil sharpener gear" on ebay.
Sorry to anybody who was not updated yet, I was not aware that ebay limits how many messages you can send in one day (grrr). I will try to catch up on notices until those are finished.
More info will be posted soon and I will continue to make this available for as long as there are requests.
