After speaking to a few people, it appears that my balance, is in fact, not balanced. It relates to a stiff DEC axis. I wasn't quite sure how freely the axes should spin when the clutches aren't engaged. I have some movement but it needs a big imbalance to cause significant movement when the scope is loaded.

I did open up and clean but noticed the DEC gear was quite tight in the collar. I have been given (careful) instructions to use fine sandpaper to sand out the inside of the collar. Have others had to do this?
