Kato Mikado Revised Driver Set?

It's Alive! (bwahaahaha)

A shelf queen runs again after 10 years in the box!

The helicoptor gears did the trick.  They're much wider than the originals, but a little trimming of the gear cover and everything works great!    PLUS, I finally had an excuse to buy a NWSL Puller and a Panavise!

Thanks everyone for their help, and especially Max for pointing me to the gears.

Groooooovy!    There is nothing more satisfying than "saving one from the dumpster"!   HA HA HA!
Great news.

What are tt drivers going for on ebay? I have 20 in the closet.

Kato Mikado TT drivers are going for about $12 these days.   Kato is sold out, but there must finally be enough of them
around at all the hobby shops that anyone who needed one got one.   When they got really scarce over
the years, the eBay prices would skyrocket to ridiculous numbers.  I saw some as high as $100, but I doubt anyone
ever paid that. 

That doesn't really address the problem with bad pickup and Mikado drivers.  The TT driver is the one where
you don't really care about the pickup anyway.  It's the other three drivers that you need to replace and those
are impossible to find.
