I thought someone would pick up on that; and if I remember correctly
someone posted that they thought that Scott was not too impressed
about the teflon fix in general.
I wonder if he has since found out there is a long term problem with
the fix since he first recommended it himself.

Losmandy resolved this problem, although it introduced a minor
issue: the
DEC clutch must be tightened more to achieve the same amount of
resistance.
IMO, that's a minor irritation, compared to the stiction problem,
which was
a HUGE pain-in-the-***!
Gee, this sounds familiar....so Scott has already had this fix in
his bag of tricks for the G9. When I emailed him about replacing
the
nylon clutch washer with teflon on my G11, I got the impression
from
his response that it was a new idea. Nothing was said about the
fact
that he already did this on the G9. Hmmmm...curiouser and
curiouser.
