I've raised the matter before. To me, to put it bluntly, the base design and alt/az motions on a lot of mass produced scopes are "pretty sucky" and some simple improvements can make viewing a lot more pleasurable.
I wasnt trying to be sarcastic. Maybe I was stating the obvious but my comment was intended for anyone who stumbled across the thread not knowing why we might bother to do these things to a dob.

Quite right about the movements of mass produced dobs, and maybe many of the people who buy one and then wish for an eq mount, would be happier knowing how to fix their dobs motions.
