[QUOTE=bkm2304;894101]The mount is a custom made English Fork Mount made in Australia with AWR technology electrics made in the UK. I am not sure where the worm gear and wheels were made. The OTA is a 22" Newtonian. The fork weighs about 200kg. I need a local engineer ie in the Newcastle or sydney area to have a look and advise on how to improve wheel-worm interface.

no idea really, is the worm adjustable? should have been made that way . Considering the age there could be some wear, maybe ask the guys at Argo Navis, they might have a pet engineering firm. Looking at the AWR site they have GoTo now so maybe they can advise on suitable parts or upgrades?
"We can also supply brackets, or undertake complete equatorial head refurbishment by fitting worm wheel sets etc"
