All I can contribute without seeing your machine in detail is that for
my 102 the pitch changewheels are 1.25 mod, & I'm 95% sure, without
checking, that the feed wheels are 1 mod.
Have you asked the vendor whether he has any? May have tucked them
away in view of the low price it fetched, & might be open to
negotiation. As for making vs buying, that's partly a matter of what
facilities you have for making, and how you value your time.
I've found it useful having a hob to match the changewheels, so that I
can make my own on the hobber using a borrowed gear in the train.
Myford gears are close enough to 1.25 mod for this job on my machine.

If you've got at least one hob, work out what gears you can cut and
play with it, see what happens. If you're not familiar with making
gears by any means, Ivan Law's little book is a very good place to
start.

Not quite sure what you mean about the drive shafts, may not be
relevant to my machine.
