Thanks again, I'll make sure they have the threads.  This one can be
repaired with a replacement outer bearing plate/mount with the thread
intact, and a shaft with the gear and clutch.  Everything else is fine.

By the way, Is their a good way to replace the oiling threads in the
scanners?  The failure of this one was caused by the lack of the thread,
don't need another.  They're available all over the place without the
threads.  :)
