Hey Adam,

Well, that's disappointing. You would expect that SW would have their quality control sorted out by now.

Cheers,

Think I've got a dud. Will be going back to Bintel at lunch time and see what happens.

Unfortunately it looks as if this is going to be similar to the AZ-GTI in that tuning out backlash requires almost dismantling the mount. It's not easy to do like on the EQ6-R.
