When Tasco first took on the Skywatcher brand years and years ago product support was less than ideal. You got more satisfaction out of the retailers like Bintel
These days its improved a thousand percent
Yes Graeme is extremely helpful
Just in case you have some issues again I’ll attach some procedures to adjust backlash and drive belts etc… It’s fairly straight forward if you have some minimal mechanical experience.
I’ve owned 2 of these EQ6-R pro mounts over the past 5 years ( still use one in Sydney ) and have serviced them myself just by watching a million YouTube clips.
My current EQ6-R mount tracks and guides beautifully ( pending conditions) 0.40 to 0.50 on good nights carrying an 8” f5 Carbon Newt
This may save you a long drive to Tasco at Brooky
I too had the clicking sound which ended up being some stiction in the worm drives and main Ra bearing ( nothing to do with belts ) during warmer months it went away but came back in Winter.
Cheers
Martin
