This is an interesting proposition - but I would be wary. I dont have

The teeth won't match up as you say, but only one if the gears needs to be
fixed
- the other can be an idler, with its sole function being to pinch the worm
gear, not raise the platform.

Ah - hadnt thought of it like that. In which case- it would be worth
using more than one set (gear+idler) for additional stability.
