CG5-GT - play in polar axis

[morayskies]

Hi All

I have had a CG5-GT mount for a number of years now and I'm happy with it, however, I noticed something last night and I'm not sure if I should be unduly concerned about it.

As I picked up the mount and 'scope last night, I noticed that the polar axis 'lifted' up about 0.5mm in it's bearings (perpendicular to the axis - not along it).  I appreciate that the weight of the 'scope will keep the polar axis drive gears engaged in normal use and this movement will only occur when I physically lift the polar axis (ie when carrying the assembled instrument).  Has anyone else found this with their CG5 mount?  If so, is it easy to adjust out?  Indeed, do I need too?  The mount seems to be tracking OK

Thanks for looking.
