HEQ5 Pro slewing problem

I've lived with this problem for years, but I'm wondering if anyone else has seen it.

Sometimes, when slewing the RA axis, the mount keeps slewing even after I release the button. To get it to stop I have to briefly push the button for the opposite direction. This only happens in RA and it is always when slewing in the one particular direction. The DEC axis slews work fine.

I used to think it was a problem with the handset, but after moving to EQMOD and laptop control it still does it. So, the problem must be in the mount electronics somewhere.

Anyone else seen this behaviour?

cheers,
Andrew
