EQ5 slipping

[wookie1965]

I have been having problems with my EQ5 goto getting things in the centre of the FOV. 

After reading through Alan64's very informative thread and looking through the pictures I decided to check my clutches and found this I have adjusted it but I have done that before. 

I now think the bass screw is working its way loose then it can slip any ideas what I can do with it please.

Looks like quite a lot of movement there. Perhaps try putting some PTFE tape on the thread to see if that might stop that movement there?

I have sorted it now used a piece of one of my tablet wrappers they are slightly thicker than tinfoil more robust. 

Put it in screwed in brass screw tight backed it off put the lever on good as new now and locks off very easily.
