I don't know but I have restored two Mark 5's with broken Pinion Gears. One a Greenie from 1957 and the other a Goldie from 1960.

I'm thinking getting the posts cocked so the teeth are out of sync.chapmanruss wrote:I don't know but I have restored two Mark 5's with broken Pinion Gears. One a Greenie from 1957 and the other a Goldie from 1960.

The teeth on the posts were fine, no visible damage. When they were reassembled with the replacement gears they went together and worked smoothly. All damage (missing teeth) were on just the gears.
This is what the one set looks like. Each missing sections of two teeth. I couldn't find the other set but they were in worse shape.

Maybe they had been used as house jacks...
