This is what I bought (Below pic). This photo was a few months ago, as I asked for a photo of the gears before I even considered a purchase.
The problem is, their website (smallparts) is very cumbersome. The pictures are not really identifiable to the actual product, which is silly. The details are quite good, but the display/format of the pages are very busy.
Also, their way of business is a little weird. Smallparts can not be contacted other than email or online purchase, if you want to talk to someone, you have to talk to a subsiduary (hobby parts supplies - I think)...
I got a little peeved, when I did an online purchase, they charged my credit card within a day, then had the nerve to tell me a few days ( I think 4 days) after the purchase, "maybe weeks to get delivery as we have just sold out, do you want to wait?"
Wait??
I have already paid for them.
And I thought "surplus" meant that they still had stock?...Just.
360 toothed gear, I think it's about 150mm in diameter. This will be driven by the stepper motors. It's an experiment.
I just got frustrated in finding something good, this was it, but it's a case of waiting for it now. I ordered the gears on the 21 of Sept. One is supposed to have been supplied in 2 weeks, it hasn't, the other gear comes mid-late Nov....
They also put requested delivery at 30th of this month, so god only knows when I'll get them.

Also, this is the Az bearing that comes with Bintel 12" Dob.
Something you are after?
2 thin bits of steel plate (maybe 1-2 mm thick) and a needle roller bearing.
