Hi Ed, Looking at AM's web site, only the Baldwin S12 is offered with an alternative low gearing, when ordered. Looking at the the spares list for the Baldwin, only reference is "GBWSLG -Worms for slow speed gearing - 2 needed @ $4.00 each." Alternative gears not listed, just the standard. Could be that the "slow speed" worms will fit the existing gears. Not a lot to try it out!! (Plus postage, I am sure!) BUT would they fit the GP9??? Let us all know!!!
