Odd behavior with my AZ-EQ6 GT

[daz]

So, I have now mounted my ED72 and ED100 on the EQ6, but I have now noticed that the RA axis moves - quite easily!

The axis is locked - properly locked - but I can quite easily move the scope around. DEC appears to be fine.

 

It's been some time since I have had a SBS arrangement, but I don't remember this before.

Am I missing/forgetting something??

Hard to be sure from the photo but the RA clutch lever looks to be fully to the right.  On my AZEQ6 this is the unlock position. 

Can you move it to the left at all?

[daz]

You know what..... this could well be a complete brain meltdown on my part...

Yes, that is locked to the RIGHT - and it should indeed be locked to the LEFT!!

 

/Daz is off to hide in embarrassment  👍

 

[daz]

Yep, that would be that then!!

 

:D

Best place for a melt down Daz 👍
Confirms we all have brain fail moments and just cannot see what's wrong,
this makes me feel far better and in good company.
