Sony PS-3300 Replacement Spindle Gear

Description

Welcome to The Speaker Port!
Up for a sale is a replacement spindle gear for a Sony PS-3300 turntable.  This is a direct replacement for the original and we developed and tested on an actual 3300 to ensure perfect fit.  This gear should fit other models that use the same gear, but at this time, I have only tested it with a 3300. Replacing this gear will fix the issue where the auto-return function stops working due to failure of the original gear.
Notes about this item
This is an aftermarket part, not an original Sony product.
The tolerances on this gear will create a tight fit around the knurled shaft.
To install, simply remove the old gear (if not already) and ensure the shaft is clean and undamaged.
With the key facing up, simply push the new gear down in place until it does not go any further.
(Note: this will go on tight.  We recommend using a deep well socket and a small hammer to tap the gear down into position.  You will want to make sure you do not push it too far. The key on the gear should line up with the cam gear metal catch.)
So long as it's in it's resting place, you do NOT need to remove the cam gear (large white disc) in order to replace the spindle gear.
Lastly, it is recommended, but not required, to apply a small amount of lubricant on the outside of the gear teeth (such as lithium grease or some other non-corrosive material.)

General Information
Who are we?
Founded in 2016, The Speaker Port is a small, independently owned/operated business based in the suburbs of Chicago, IL.  I started out in repairing/restoring vintage audio speakers and stereo systems but within the first year, took on both home and professional grade systems (PA systems, guitar amps, etc).  I work on all components types (receivers, turntables, tape decks, power amps, etc.), makes and models. I hold a degree in Electrical Engineering but spent the better part of my 22 year professional career in Information Technology. Through it all was a deep love for music and music reproduction. Recently, I have established relationships with a number of music stores and studios servicing their own as well as 3
rd
party customer equipment. I now also offer my own line based on reproducing hard to find, vintage parts using 3D CAD design and printing technology.  As we continue to growth, I look forward to being able to provide top shelf Customer services and well as products to go with it.
Pricing
If you have ever sold anything on eBay, you know that for everything you sell, eBay takes a very steep cut from you sale. EBay also takes money from the cost of shipping too. Annual costs associated with eBay’s make it even worse. On top of that, add on the percentage PayPal wants and as a result…you just lost 10-15% of you overall sale price. In order to sell products, you need to price competitively and fairly.  In addition, we have families to feed so we cannot afford to lose money or break even.  Please consider this when evaluating the price we set.
Shipping
All paid for items typically ship within 1 business day, however, we have a 3 day handling time in the event that an unforeseen issue comes up that prevents us from being able to ship immediately (such as weather related issues.)
Any item we charge shipping costs for are fairly priced based.  They take into consideration the materials necessary to secure/protect your item in transit. We use new boxes and packing when possible.  The total cost of shipping must take into account our costs for these materials, the actual shipping cost charged by USPS or FedEx as well as the percentage eBay takes from us for shipping.
We will never charge ridiculous, overprices shipping charges for any reason.
As noted above, any listing we have that comes with ‘Free Shipping' does not mean there is no cost associated with shipping the product.  Most, if not all of our “Free Shipping” items are shipped USPS First Class (where we can predict the cost to any location domestically). On average, our cost to ship such items range from -.  Please keep this in mind when evaluating the cost of our product to others.
Unless otherwise specified in the listing, we do not insure any item in transit (beyond whatever the shipping provides as default…if any) nor do we add addition features such as signature requirement.  If you want an item shipping with such additional features, it is your responsibility to ask for it and there will be additional costs associated with them.
If an item offered to ship internationally, then it will be enabled in the listing via the eBay Global Shipping Program. Note: We do not have any control on what eBay GS charges for international shipping so please keep that in mind.  eBay GS is a higher cost means of shipping but due to buyer fraud problems, we have had little choice but to go this route to eliminate claims of users not receiving items.
Warranty and/or product guarantee
Unless specifically statement in the list, there is no warranty or guarantee of any kid associated with the item you are buying. We have no way of knowing how much use it had before coming into our possession.
Please consider this before buying.
Any used/refurbished/restored item we sell is tested and verified to be in working condition before we list/sell the item.
Any issues or problems will be clearly stated in the listing. This includes physical, electrical or operational condition. Regarding physical condition, we provide detailed pictures in our listing so please pay attention to them.  We will not be describing every scratch/scuff/ding that may exist. Note: any statements made about things like sound or picture quality or value are completely the opinion of The Speaker Port and in no way represent a guarantee or statement of fact.
For any NEW, 3
rd
party products that are still sealed in their original OEM packaging are assumed to be in perfect working condition.  We will not open these packages to test them or evaluate their contents for any reason. The Speaker Port assumes no responsibility for the operational condition of such items and are offered “as-is”.
Fraud Prevention
Unfortunately, there are folks out there that try to commit fraud/steal products from us.  As a result, The Speaker Port had to make some tough choices about how we do business on eBay. Once such measure is using the eBay Global Shipping service for international purchases.  This eliminates buyer claims that they never received an item.  They get away with this because of the lack of end-to-end tracking with cheaper shipping services.  The Speaker Port has also had to resort to photo documenting and UV tagging (marking) products in various ways to prevent ‘bait and switch’ situations or from buyers who ‘harvest’ internal parts for their own use and claiming that the item does not work.  We have zero tolerance for this.
