My little used, but expensive when purchased Philishave is bust, or rather one of the three tiny gear wheels which drive the three cutters and in turn are driven from the motor, via a reduction gear, has lost some teeth.
Apparently according to Phillips, they no longer keep any parts for the shaver, but it is only 8 years old.
Here is a photo, it is the cog on the bottom right.
I have a mini- lathe, but nothing more in the way of machine tools. Has anyone any suggestions for a means to reproduce or repair the existing gear please?
Is there some method by which I could 'cast' the part from plastic or nylon?
Anyone got a dud Philishave replacement part?
Anyone able to make such a part for a few beer tokens please?
It is a Phillips HQ 8894, the one which is water-proof rinse able, with an LCD display telling you how much battery left, when to rinse it, when to fit new heads etc..
