But definitely worth my looking at. Thanks again.


Hi Paul,
I spent over 20 years working with closed loop control systems.
Wobbly parts just don't work.
Did you take the counter weights off & just move the bar up & down?
How much play was there?
I think the latest belt driven EQ6 has solved that problem.

May I also add that Roger Davis from Bintel had a look inside my EQ6 once &
he adjusted the DEC axis for the correct amount of play.
The EQ6 can come out of the factory with all sorts of problems
& many have to be checked out by experts such as Roger.
It only takes one bit of grit somewhere or a mal-adjustment &
the guide graph will go crazy.

There are experts around who can hyper-tune these mounts
with special bearings etc -
but I wouldn't bother unless the counterweight bar is upgraded first.

cheers
Allan
