eq mount problem

[hemihaggis]

hi , my meade lxd 75mount has a problem , there is a bit of play in the ra axis , if you set the scope in home position ,line up the arrows and lock the clutches up tight the ra axis still moves about 3-4mm each direction quite freely then stops .... does anyone have any experiance of this in an lxd mount or any other eq german mount .

thanks ...

Hi, I had a similar problem with my LXD55 mount which turned out to be a loose grub screw in the RA gear allowing it too move.

Mine got so bad that running the motor failed to turn the scope.

Personally I thought Meade had resolved this issue on the 75 mount.
