Hi Matt,

I don't think so, I believe that it's a G11 specific problem. It has to do with the mounting blocks for the worm.

As the blocks are in two separate pieces, the worm can, and almost always does, go in ever so slightly off centre. This causes it to drag on the bearings evry 76 seconds. As 76 seconds is not a divisor or multiple of the worm period PEC cannot correct for it.

Cheers
Stuart
