Since my last post, I've removed the center spindle assembly from the deck and discovered that there is indeed a hairline crack in the plastic gear, which is what allowed it to move down the shaft, so it's either, as has been suggested on UKVRRR, glue it in place with Araldite metal, or remove the gear and use the T/T purely as a manual player.
