Hi Logan,
Thanks a lot for the video! I've now made the adjustments and I think the RA axis feels much better. Now, just a clear night to confirm all is well. The mount homes fine so I couldn't have messed it up too much, hopefully.
Re the plungers. They were not too far out. In fact they were 2.25 turns out. I'm not sure if that means the worm on the gear is shallow or a bit deep. I decided to leave them at 2.25 for the time being. The firmness came entirely from adjusting the 1/4-20s. I didn't have a helper but think it's right now.
I had previously changed my belts months and months ago from black to grey. And, now that I think of it, that might be the genesis of this issue for me. I followed Chris' Youtube video on removing the motor/worm, but comparing what he shows to the pdf on doing this maintenance I notice that he skips over the 1/4-20 adjustment in the process. That missing step may have tripped me up. I think it's odd that SB recommends the video - perhaps not realizing that step is missing. I think Chris has done a great job with his video, but perhaps I should point this out to them. Would you?
Thanks again for your help!
Peter
