Mark,
? ? ? ? ? ?Appreciate the responses. The truth is I have been battling this issue for the past 8 months when I couldn't use the mount at all. Before that it functioned well. Not this bad. To answer you questions :?
1)RA Backlash : I apologize for the wrong methodology . I was referring to the worm wheel an the worm block wiggle. No matter how much I tighten, there seems to be movement when I wiggle the counter weight shaft. There is no DEC play but there is severe RA play.
2) I have tried adjusting but these seem to be very different from the traditional G11 worm blocks. No offence but the Gemini 2 ones look way better and sturdier than the one I have. The worm cover is just that - a cover. I I have seen videos from the Losmandy channel in youtube but the motor assembly is very different. While Gem2 is servo mine is stepper.WHen I tried to remove it, something was preventing it from coming off. Do I need to loosen the couplings which connect the motor to the worm mesh?
3) The mount worked fine for a while. But being in a humid and ununsed state took its toll I guess. The lube inside had solidified and I had to relube everything except the worm wheel.
