I can't remember for sure - but I think the 76 second error is due to the original worm blocks being able to move independently of one another - so this upgrade will fix that. You still get 2 separate worm blocks but they are machined very accurately and are held into the OPWB very specifically by two screws per block. They will not move. If you have an older G11 (or the custom drives) you might want to make sure that the gearbox you have will suit, and then you might want some gearbox covers - as mine only had little slip-on rubber ones that won't work for the new setup

Also - I don't know if you read my thread above, but I had issues with the worm cover fouling on the main gear cover - this meant that the worm block would not seat properly. I ended up just filing it down, but it was a pain at the time. I don't know if Losmandy has fixed this or not, but I would imagine it is due to the age of my mount and slight design changes between it and newer ones.

EDIT: here are the before and after PEMPro graphs.

Cheers
