I received my PM940 a couple days ago too..guess they come from the same batch.
Mine has a couple minor glitches I can easily fix, but what left me a bit perplexed is that although I got the hardened ways model, they don't seem that hard at all.
Just wiping off the factory grease with some dust it collected was enough to leave some marks. I then did the classic test with a file, and I could easily leave a mark in a corner by applying a very small amount of pressure.
I also have a grizzly lathe and its ways are apparently harder by comparison.
I'm planning my conversion too, will follow your thread closely!
