Actually they were under $30.  Shars brand, china made.  But they work fine.

One thing I learned from experience - if you drop them and the pinion jumps a 
tooth on the rack, you aren't going to be able to get both needles pointing at 
zero again by disengaging and re-engaging the pinion.  It seems like it can go 
together a thousand ways and only one way has both needles aligned.

I took off the bezel, carefully popped off both needles, and pressed them back 
on in the proper orientation.
