I must have slightly moved the mount when I shifted the counterweight.

Anyhow, the slew drifting problem is still there.
When I grab the end of the counterweight bar, I can move the mount in RA a few millimetres back and forth!!! That can't be good.
Also the Dec moves about 1mm when moved by hand.
Ken you might have to send it to Roger from bintel - he fixed that up for me originally when I bought it from Mick Pinner. might cost you a couple of gold notes
