Its funny how everybody goes on about how bad the polar adjusters on the
SW 5 and 6 mounts are. I've always taken some weight [ as Aidan suggested] when increasing the altitude on every EQ mount I've ever owned. It doesn't
make sense [ unless one has no mechanical knowledge at all] to tighten a bolt
against all that weight when using a mass produced budget level piece of
machinery. Different ball game if using a top drawer piece of gear.
