Lx90 alt play

Hi folks...

What with the rain due this weekend I thought I might get into some maintenance.

My lx90 has some play in the alt axis which I thought I might look at fixing.

When I lock the alt axis I can move the ota about half a degree up and down
According to the setting circle on the fork.

My question, before I start opening it up for surgery, is:

Is this normal?

Ie how much play should there be before correction is necessary?

Its not causing any goto or tracking issues ...
Especially for visual....

I do take the odd photo with it so fixing might improve that...

Just wondering if anybody knows how much play is normal?

Cheers,
