Ebay search Boston Model 17 Pencil Sharpener Gear (Lrg) $12.50 Worth it ?

I'm looking for a gear also. But I'm sure you will have better luck buying a new sharpener and it will be cheeper than thw gear and shipping. Bob S
Pencil sharpeners typically use a combination of a blade and a gear mechanism to sharpen the pencil. As the pencil is inserted into the sharpener, the blade shaves off the wood and graphite, while the gear mechanism rotates the pencil to achieve an even sharpening. The force for turning the gear mechanism can come from either manual hand-cranks or electric motors depending on the type of sharpener.
I also had a broken gear on my Hunt/Boston electric pencil sharpener and after extensive searching I finally tracked down someone on e-bay who makes them in a small quantity for both the model 17 and 18. He just posted more of the gears on e-bay as of 1/11/13 if anyone is interested. His seller id is valens61

where can i get a replacement spinner wheel for the Swiss gear luggage
My (Model 18) is thermal shutdown too. Yes,to your question. It is a safety measure to protect the motor,it stops the motor when the thermal temp. reaches a certain number of degrees. This could be caused by sharpening too many pencils at one time.You must remember this motor only supposed to run in short bursts,allow it too cool back down to the operating temp. limits. You also might have a problem with the gearing inside the unit,causing unusal drag on the motor. These gears are made of plastic,too hard and brittle to last very long. What i do is take the unit apart (Only three screws ) and lube the gears with 3 in one oil,this is a very good oil for this purpose. You can find this oil at Wal-Mart near the bolts of cloth,buttons and etc.. I hope this helps. I have a problem with my Boston pencil sharpener too,the large plastic gear cogs broke and now i'am having a difficult time locating this gear. Boston and their manufactures won't make them or sell them,they informed me that the pencil sharpener is a throw away item,to cheap to carry parts for,it would cost more for the parts than the whole unit.
You can find a replacement gear for your Whirley Pop popcorn maker on the manufacturer's website or at a kitchen appliance store.
