I would get the parts for the Panther G from Karen and see if it can be upgraded. Since I have built my Pershing it has become my main fighter so i will need to address this some time in the future so I am going to try it.
For now i would think that you could simply get a card sheet of Polystyrene from a hobby shop and make a plate the same shape as the under side of the turret that the ball bearings ride on an basically have a big patch panel. Now the bearings are riding on a new flat surface just like in the beginning.. Makes sense doesn't it?
This also will bring the turret up off of the lower deck to give you more clearance.

I have no idea what "the farad value of capacitance" means, but thanks for the clarification.
Is that the amount of noise it filters?
So, I could probably get away with not transferring them to the new motor?
At least for some testing that is.
Sometimes it is easier to ask a dumb question on here than to un-solder the old then solder the new, just to test.
Then, if it does not have the intended result, un-solder and re-solder again.
MAUS 45, I originally used graphite as well and seemed to help.
But as Panther G points out, as the groove gets more and more worn, the traverse gets more rickety.
My Pershing is now 3 years old and has been to every battle day in Danville during that time.
So, I am looking for a bigger jump in performance.
