What the thread found

• Heden discontinued gear production for some of their motor models including the M26p
• Direct contact via email to the manufacturer's engineering department may yield better results than general customer service channels
• Some alternative suppliers like ABEL Cinetec and Christian-Betz have stopped stocking replacement gears for these systems

Depends on

• The discussion does not confirm whether gear discontinuation applies to the M28vp model specifically
• No alternative suppliers or solutions are mentioned as working options
• The thread dates from 2007 and manufacturer policies may have changed
