Do you remember TowerHobbies Ts-150 or its twin Hobbico Cs-150 servo ?
They were rebranded Futaba servos and at that time you could easily find replacement gear set at a cheap price.
More than 10 years ago I bought a bunch of them and now they are all out of order with broken final gear, no possibility to make one good from all the pieces.
Can you help in finding the right replacement at a reasonable price ? I think the whole servo cost about 40$, the spares should be cost effective.

Thanks
Filippo
 
They are not very strong by modern standards at ~14kg. The gear sets look to have been around $9, but long discontinued. Ebay might be your best chance if someone posts up an old stock set, but its still going to have the problematic nylon gear.

Seems a better idea to replace them with a new stronger unit. A quick Amazon search found a 4pk of servos with similar power and speed of those old servos for $17. Not saying those are what you should get, but I would say those are equivalent to what you are trying to repair.
 
The specs are not all that impressive by modern standards. They are slow as hell. Specs below. From what I am seeing on Servo Database, the price was $39.99. The EcoPower WP110S and WP110T are both better with the same price of $39.99.

Torque:4.8V: 162.00 oz-in (11.67 kg-cm)
6.0V: 193.00 oz-in (13.90 kg-cm)
Speed:4.8V: 0.26 sec/60°
6.0V: 0.21 sec/60°
