Just an update, after picking up the bearings I needed over a week ago, I got around to reassembling the lathe.
There is a mild thump as the new teeth mesh through the mating gears in the slower spindle speed that becomes inaudible in the highest speed selection that involves the repaired gear. I'll check to see if it translates as a surface finish aberration with use.
So far so good.
