SkyWatcher Az Eq6 - Help

Hi all,

I have recently purchased the SkyWatcher Az Eq6, a nice progress from my old CG-5. Was very happy at first days of use but later I have discovered some issues...

1. There is a free paly in the RA axis; can be easily noticed when gently nudging the counterweight bar
2. DEC backlash appeared out of nowhere. My PHD calibration process was initially showing 'Clearing DEC backlash' and was going for 2 steps, now it goes up to 10 !.

I didn't find many resources about issues with this mount so I would appreciate discussing these issues and possibly other regarding this specific mount. Hopefully some users here have more experience mine

Any help much appreciated

Thanks
Uri
