I recently got an old BIAX scraper, seems to work well although I haven't pulled it apart to check under the hood yet.
I've read about the dreaded plastic gear that can strip out and render the whole thing useless. This gear is no longer available anywhere. Has anyone ever replaced both gears, as a set, with something more readily available (Boston Gear?), even if the ratio was slightly different? And if so, why not use brass or steel for both gears?
