I'm guessing its OK for balance as I can move the scope and counterweight through about 30 deg either side of horizontal/vertical with the locking lever off and it stays where I stop it. Didn't think about the grease, could be. I'm forgetting these are just little 6v steppers and it wouldn't take much drag to slow them down. I'll pick up some White Lithium Grease today and check it out. Been meaning to have a look see if its fitted with roller bearings on the RA worm shaft anyway.
Cheers
Bill
