Andrew the TDM by passes the worm completely and is fixed directly to the RA shaft itself. The thing with this is it has no effect on the dec axis so if your polar alignment is out even the smallest bit the whole thing becomes a paper weight.

Greg I believe the future in mounts will be direct drive and most the problems of dealing with worms and gears will become a distant memory only to be replaced by new problems.
