I've got a cheap bubble hockey table (well, minus the bubble, so its just a table hockey game now)...
but its missing one stupid tiny little gear, making me play a "man short". The table's in perfect shape, but without this one piece I'm almost about to throw it in the garbage....

Here's pics:

i have almost this exact table... the brand name is printed somewhere on that table, perhaps on the underside... then just google the company name and call them to order the part. I already ordered a few pieces for mine a few years ago.

I can't seem to find anything on the manufacturer. It's a "Gamecraft" table from superstore...the closest thing I found was a company out of Taiwan...but no parts dept: http://www.sportgamecraft.com/en/products.php?pId=4

That looks like something that RC car guys might use. Maybe check PMS hobbies?


Also check http://www.mcmaster.com

Click on the little picture that says 'gears' and then over on the left click 'miter gears.' They have a lot of different sizes so maybe one will work?

You have one to copy? Take ya a few hours to make a mold and create a new one - PM hobby would have all you need to copy it - I'd probably redo it out of epoxy, but there's any number of materials to choose from...

yeah I have 9 others to copy from. MAKE another one?? MYSELF??? Shit, never thought of that. I can build a house, build a poker table, and rebuild an engine...but make a gear? Hmmmmm
