If you are brave enough to adjust that little mystery screw on the back of the SNO-T trommel, be careful not to overdo it. If the screw is turned out too far it will be hard to make 0'1 or 0'2 adjustments to an observation. The wheel will want to turn in slight jumps, rather than smoothly.
By the way, I don't think this screw has anything to do with how tight the gears fit. What I HOPE it does is tighten the connection between the worm screw and index.
