Used this method and it works well.

wondering if this might sort out my moteck which doesn't run smoothly, how do i attach the multimeter as i want to check the voltage ?

Can confirm this works very will indeed.

Was about to give up on Disecq because of constant movement, but have managed to stay locked onto a number of 7w verticals with my TD88 for many months now.

Cheers.

hit the screwdriver with a hammer is a nice touch.

Hi,

I have a slight up and down movement on the motor stub but left and right seems sturdy enough. Will adjusting these screws resolve the up and down movements? Generally it's not an issue on more central satellites, but I think it might be a problem for the extremes of the arc.

Also, can I do this in-situ or do I need to put the motor upside down as on the picture?

Thanks
CJ

I have had this on a couple of motors generally just tightening the centre bolt that goes through the motor stub cures this, It has for me anyway.

Should be ablre to do this in situ too if you have enough room to manoeuvre.
