The orange gear box that indexes the tool changer has locked up. I would like a quote on a replacement or where I could send it to get it fixed. All I actually need is the gear set that is inside it. Can you help?

The Machine records shows the Toolpost as a Denford Designed DMT 8ST.
The grease used at the time tended to harden with age and lock the gears up. We tend to strip down and clean out the old grease and replace with a Kluber ISOFLEX NBU 15 grease. I will try and get some photo's of the stripped down gear box and a product code for the grease. If you can get some photos of the gears that need replacing I will check to see if they are available. Does the Tool post look like this ?
