Hi Aaron,
From what I have read, all dobs seem to have a az mount problem.
Many suggested solutions but only
one has worked for me.
The shop didn't have an answer and the importer still hasn't got back to me.
Here is a copy of my recent post;
---------------------------------
"Sticky" SWFLEX8 dob az mount.
Success!
Went to Bunnings at Tuggerah and found a 305mm "lazy susan" for $35. Sold under the brand name of "Prestige". Installed (no mods needed) swivel assembly today and can't believe how smooth the action is.

http://www.itwproline.com.au/HSSwive...s/default.aspx for all those other dob users having trouble with "
stiction" --- sounds so much better than "sticky" or jerky.
----------------------------------
The "black screws" are possibly some sort of tension guide but I haven't touched mine and there is nothing in the documentation to suggest you need to.
Hope this helps.
Peter
