stick your alturn on ebay. somebody out there will want it!
Just took it apart to see if there was anything odd going on. The gears look lovely quality - all metal and nicely made. However a couple of the gears were rubbing against each other and one was laying flat on part of the plastic casing. Add to this that the whole lot was covered in a very sticky white grease. Very sticky!

So, I cleaned all the white goo off and shimmed the gears so nothing was rubbing and - WOW! Faster, centered well and even noisier than before! Worked though!

I'll still keep a lookout for a replacement. Perhaps a wanted ad would be an idea.
