you can build a CNC lathe fairly cheaply depending on how you do it.
You could put the gear in some kind of CAD software, such as jetcam and have the CNC file it produces, make a new gear for you. just use a very fine routing lathe bit in a rotary tool, for the CNC to use.

For just this one part, it would be cheaper and easier to use one of the 3-D printing services springing up all around. Still, that gear would probably cost $30 - $50 from such a service. That seems to be their minimum. Might be cheaper if he orders several of them.
