I owe the group a reply on my issue. Basically, the problem was play
between the worm and worm bearings. The remedy was to remove the worm
cover and follow the process laid out in the most recent losmandy
video (~ 4 yrs. ago). The "trap" was when inspecting the mount as
received, the spur gears did rotate freely and described in the
Losmandy video. There was just no corresponding movement in the axis.
I adjusted the system (worm play, spring tension, etc.) so there was
easy (as opposed to free) movement in the spur gears. I have gotten
good results in guiding since the adjustment. Note: There was a
gradual transition between easy and difficult movement. So there may
be more to be gained from further tuning.
Thanks for your help, Tim.
