Two silly questions:

1. How does that gear ratio compare to the fourth gear in overdrive and
   non-overdrive TRs (I'm mostly interested in my TR-250, but will accept
   ballpark numbers for any).

2. What transmission(s) will this work with?  Looking back at #1, wouldn't
   the various choices of transmission affect the final ratio?

Thx,
