May have answered my own question.Did a search in Tritronics site as model and searched "gear". Gave a numerical list of all sony gears. Your gear was 3-736-147-01, called: GEAR(LEFT)THREADING. Below the list was GEAR(RIGHT)THREADING part# 3-736-148-01. I assume this is the other side.Thanks much- Phil Bader Glenn Larkman wrote: > > Phillip, > > Sony # 3-736-147-01 is the part number I show for them.
