[Boatanchors] HP 8640B RF Signal Gen has broken gear on Freq Change

[Bob Hardie- W5UQ]

More info... the set of gears behind the Range Switch, aka #13 control. 
These are the milky white gears.  I've put wire ties on the broken one 
and it seems to work, however it can still slip ranges. 

These gears appear to be cracked due to age and having stress put on 
them...  Actually only one gear is stressed/cracked.

Maybe the full assembly could be found in an old 8640 that has been 
parted out.  I could use a couple of other parts if someone answers and 
has the parts.

Thanks... know it's a long shot... but here goes.
