I have a few of these modified, lighted idle gears in brass.
Were they made by Aurora?
Were they a part of the hop-up kit?
Or just who made them?
Modified, lightened brass idler gears: who made them?

Aurora " Tuff Ones" Why they did not do the same to the driven gear is a mystery.

Aurora made both the idler and driven gears with these lightened versions for TJets. Here is the idler gear on the left, part #8319. On the right is the smaller holed driven gear. I ran out of the packaged lightened driven gears, but they were packaged in the same type of yellow card.

Thanks guys, I never knew about those lightened gears... but I stopped with T-Jets in about 1966, as I switched to the larger scales.
