Doug, it has been my understanding that you balance the scope perfectly, then move the counterweight about a Fairies fart along the shaft towards the end. That way the drive gears are always neatly meshed but there is no excessive weight on the drive. But only move the counterweight a fraction, like about 1mm. Barely noticable!

I got this tip of several sites, and it works for me anyway.
