Re: Needle bearings and axial play, is this a significant performance problem and how difficult is it to fix?

 

My 2005 vintage G11 has caged needle bearings supporting the RA and DEC axles. I have rebuilt several G11 mounts for friends and club members and some may have been newer than mine but almost all had caged bearings on the axle shafts. I wonder if there was some substitution in production over the years. Scott often slipstreams updated parts and newer designs into production without noting or documenting the changes.
