I recently purchased an instrument in need of restoration.  Included
were a few boxes of parts.  During the first inventory, I noticed an
item which just did not look like it belongs.  I've completed the
restoration now, and this part is still setting in the box -- it's
definitely not part of my instrument.

I hate to just throw it away as it is a rather delicate looking geared
part that moved something.  It could very well be the missing piece
you need.  I simply have no idea what sort of instrument it came out
of.  I am sending picture links along with this message.

The shaft is about 8" long and 3/16" diameter.  The curved part is
about 2.5" diameter.  The number "12" is stamped on the concave side
of the curve.  There are 5 teeth on the end gear, which obviously does
not make a complete revolution but maybe 270 degrees at most.  If you
know what it is and need it, please contact me.
