Jim If they are the same gears that are on the 4 axle locomotives the Athearn sd gears will work and are easy to change. I.will do some checking.

to update the proto pa gears are larger than the athearn ones and are off to one side, the common problem is not the gear itself the long side splits letting the wheel to move in or out not staying in gauge.

you might want to check with old pro audio repair shops or look around on sites like Parts Express or even eBay. Sometimes folks sell vintage or used parts there. You could also try reaching out directly to Peavey support-they sometimes still have old stock or can point you in the right direction.

you might want to check with some of the bigger pro audio repair shops or even reach out on forums like AudioKarma or Gearspace. Sometimes folks part out old Protos and might have what you need.
