If you review my two posts, they are pretty weighted on the 'helpful' side imo. And you seem to have an extraordinarily low 'rude' threshold. Do you think @Gunk is being rude with his sensible observation?
Nothing in life is guaranteed, but I suggest there's every chance a used chainring will be fine. How will it not 'mesh' exactly? Only if the ring is worn out will there be a problem (any speed) and one can tell by looking at the teeth profiles in an image (say in an advert) if that is the case.
Edit: I see you might mean that the ring will be too 'wide' for the chain. Unlikely in practice. I have just measured an SR Apex chainring of similar vintage to the OP's crankset and the width of the tooth base is the same as both some Campagnolo rings (?2000) 135mm BCD and a Shimano 9 speed ring.
My observation was based on my restoration experience, and usually it’s cheaper to buy a complete part rather than try and find elusive components, There was no intent on my part to be rude or facetious
