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.

Thanks John for the good news.

Yup. This is a common issue as is the loose set screws on the Oldham coupler. If this is a spring loaded OPW but there is still lots of movement on the axis there is excessive clearance between the bearings and worm body.

Thanks for sharing, mostly when things get fixed posters just stop posting and nobody knows what really resolved the issue. This helps everyone to close the loop.?
