Recently acquired a not so gently used MicroLux 7x12. Got it together and most issues worked out. Cool thing is it has had the metal gears conversion. Bad thing is all but 3 of the extra change gears are missing, and PO couldn't find the original plastic set. I was wondering if anybody had an extra set (plastic) they might part with? I have seen them on Little Machine Shop site, but out of stock and not sure when they will have any.

Sorry I can't directly help with official replacement gears, but I 3d printed some change gears for my HF mini-lathe and they have been reasonably durable. If you have access to a printer, that may be a way to temporize until you can get replacements. If no access, If you know whether the MicroLux gears are similar to the other Sieg type lathes, I'd be willing to print some for you.
