I have a Meade RB-70 telescope and have stripped the gears in the vertical adjuster - Meade no longer has the parts available

Sorry no parts-- these are very LOW cost-- just buy another one.

Orion sells these:

Only Meade will have the exact replacement part. Contact them here BY PHONE!

No one but Meade makes parts for this scope. Do you intend to have a custom GEAR machined??? This will be more than just sending it back to Meade; which you will need to do to get it repaired.

You might also find one by placing a WANT ad on www.astromart.com

Go to meade.com

Meade will not have parts, focusers are always replaced as an entire unit-- but if the mirror is still good you can buy a replacement focuser here:
