Dan you may have hit on something a while back. I don't know anything about printing stuff, except printing papers. A friend is attempting to print out those rod guides. Will post more as I find out anything.
Call Dan Benjamin for parts. P M me for the phone number. IF YOU TALK TO HIM, AND HE HELPS YOU, THEN BUY FROM HIM. IT CREATES GOOD KARMA.

That's great Bob i hope he can do it for you. A friend of mine his son has one of those things and he made this copy of an original small Dandy gear with the casting number so I can get some cast.

I agree Mike ! That plastic gear is only a mold to cast new ones. Those small Dandy gears are almost impossible to find in good condition so I was told.

I think cast shrinks 8 % or so. Is the pattern oversized?

I was told by the foundry for every foot of cast it shrinks 1/8 of an inch. Not to worry about the small gear.
