if you take the OTA off, and unlock the RA clutch, can the mount splin completely freely on that axis? i have seen instances in the past where, certain parts of the revolution where harder than others, and there appeared to be some binding.

hope you get it resolved.

All seems to be as it should under the stars...tracking is on with that familiar "woosh woosh" sound and any touch on the direction arrows causes immediate movement with no backlash! Motors/Cogs are firm but not too tight and slewing is Ok!!
RJ45 connectors seem fine too - just bought a longer 10m one so replacement testing proved that.

Seems like very bad polar alignment - but it's dramatic and happened overnight!!!

Nothing else for me to do but keep at it!
