sure did mate.. that was sitting there with both axis unlocked.

The only difficulty was getting it to balance with the focuser hanging it out the side... hence why the focuser orientation is as it is.

The EQ6 weights may be heavier than the HEQ5 ones are.. or maybe the counterweight shaft is longer.

Where the weights are in that pic is where it found balance..
