If this unit is worth it to you, you can build your own gear.
Here is a link to get plastic repair materials to make plastic parts. This site also will have materials for repairing plastics.

Another possibility is to search Ebay for a unit like yours which has other problems. Never can tell... it may be there.
Make sure you ask for the model of the unit in your search (on the NET as well. The serial in this case is not needed.

these guys might be able to help http://wheelermachines.com/fellowes_parts.htm

you have a broken or stripped gear

The Fellowes 220C-2 has a history of gear breakage. I've replaced dozens of them. Not a major operation. They're made of plastic and break way to frequently. Replacement requires that you remove the cutting block and it's held in place by 4 nuts threaded onto studs that require the deep well socket to remove them. I'd advise letting a professional handle it. The gear costs about $12-15 and most Fellowes dealers have them in stock.

 

Let me know if this helps.
