Hi Peter
The EQ6 seems to enjoy a pretty good reputation and doesn't require any tweaks out of the box. They have a bit of backlash in DEC but that seems to be fairly common. Most of the tweaks seems to be to do with tightening the gears to reduce the backlash and potentially replacing the grease.
I've had mine for 18 months (it's about 3 years old now) and love it. My 12" newt rides it without problem, and for deep-space imaging I use a side-by-side mounted ED80 + refractor and guide through its autoguide port.
One of the best mounts for the money you can get.
