[CQ] Aficio MP C2500 drum drive gear needed.

[Guest]

We are trying to locate a drum drive gear (the one in the drive unit that mates with drum unit). These are very easily replaced but don't seem to be available from Ricoh.
Anyone know where to get these? I find it hard to believe that the entire drive unit needs to be replaced if one breaks.

That's coz Ricoh would prefer that you buy the entire drive unit.... $$$$$$$.
You can't buy the gears OR drum connectors as separate items

Dev drive gears or the plug-in drum one? The dev drive gears are AB010367 and 0368.

If I am thinking of the correct gear, how did that gear get broken? Or did it just wear out?
Just curious if you could let us know - those machines have been around for a while, and I've never seen a gear need to be replaced there before.
