What actually happened to the AZEQ6? I found with my Orion clone that the RA slowly became very erratic, with large and unpredictable PE. Then it stopped tracking altogether. It turned out that the clutch discs had compressed and the RA head was fouling on the fixed body of the mount, making it drag and stick, and eventually stop traking completely, tightening the clutches more only served to compress the disc further and make it worse, not better. I made sheet aluminium discs matching the dimensions of the clutch discs and added them underneath the originals and it has been flawless since.
