[Re: Escher]       #5701820 - 02/26/13 02:47 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   How long did It take for the tracking to worsen to 10 seconds? Was it a few months or years of use wedge mounted? When you first started was the tracking close to what you have now post the bearing mod? Just wondering as I about to start wedge imaging for first time with the CPC Thanks Al Post Extras:       Escher scholastic sledgehammer Reged: 08/30/07 Loc: Fenton, MI Re: Ohh yes, do the bearing mod on your CPC!!!!

Never could get over 10-15 seconds, and it was worse when cold. Motion was very jerky when cold.. See my overhaul thread in the ATM forum... Post Extras:       Pages: 1
