Seek Gear for Thorens Disc Player
By Brenda Fortner

I have a Thorens disc player that has a broken plastic gear that
drives the worm shaft.  It's the only plastic gear in the mechanism.
When you try to wind it, it just unwinds itself when you let go of
the winding key.  It is at least 25 years old.  It is dark wood with
a glass door, and stands 13-1/4 inches tall.  I have five discs.

Where could I find a gear to replace the broken one?  My son looked
at it and the broken gear fell out in halves.  Thank you so much.
