Looks really good mate. Ready to go.
My mount was purchased 2nd hand and I had similar problems to the ones you mentioned to me earlier today. The worms had been adjusted far too tight, there was next to no grease in the bearings, especially the tapered bearing on the RA axis. I had to strip it down completely, clean and grease all moving parts and replace the spur gears with a belt drive kit because they had been poorly meshed and damaged. I then had to resolder the power socket because it had come loose. After 5 weeks of work and $350 spent it's finally running nicely. At the cost, I should have probably bought a new one.
