Anyone know if there are any other cameras (Yashicas or Contax) that use the same spool gear as the Contax 139Q?

I broke the spool gear on my 139Q and am trying to find another camera that I can cannibalize for the part. The 139Q was my first SLR and I'm attached to it, so just trashing it and finding another 139Q that works isn't something I'm enthusiastic about. Yes, I know it will cost more to fix the one I have, but I'd still rather do that.

So does anyone know if, say, a Yashica FX-D spool gear will fit a Contax 139Q?
