Oh,
Re. the backlash you mentioned. Any tricks? I have slightly loaded the counter weights and adjusted the worm gears so there is practically no play in the RA axis. Its driving me mental.  |
Cheers Matt,
For your shed read my tree!!!
Re Backlash... in the last week or so I noticed really awful backlash in RA developing - up to 3-4 seconds for movement when pushing the buttons o the controller.
Took the RA assembly apart and found that the brass cog (attached to the cylindrical worm gear) that meshes with the electric motor had become loose as the retaining grub screws had slackened off.
Tightened all up and was good to go!
