The problem is when you have the grub adjusting screws right, the tightening of the silver holding bolts effects the adjustments. I gradually worked up to it and just barely loosened the bolts so that tightening them had less effect. Took the DEC for a spin around 360 degrees and both possible free play and binding look OK. However, the acid test will be how it tracks/guides on a star.

I'd love to continue to hear updates on this Peter. Your posts on slewing/cable/hand-controllers were a huge help for me early on with my HEQ5Pro, and Guidemaster is always nagging me about a largish backlash so this is on my list of things to do.
I'm pretty average with a screwdriver, so keen to hear if you think you improve the situation.
