OK, it's the 2600, metal gear version, you can have it for £60 delivered, assuming you are in england.

Had a check and it's left/right play

I've no idea where? Between tube and motor axis, or is it axis play (but I find it hard to imagine, that that could be only left/right)?

I'm no expert nor have much knowledge of these issues, other than the motor tube moves left /right , right left . The centre bolt is as tight as it will go . Differing views on here about up/down , left right play backlash etc.

 

[a33]

The thing I was hinting at:
When you remove the tube from the axis, by unscrewing the screw that goes through the tube, a square axis appears.
Is the backlash in that axis (so inside the motor)? Or is the fixing between the tube and the axis causing the play?

Ok to that I don't know, I never removed the tube just made sure the bolt was tight as , and checked which direction the play was.
Then followed this.

I never took it down just did it in situ.

If I take it down next time yo check , how can I correct backlash in the axis or the tube/axis

 

[a33]

The screws 1,2,3 procedure are for motor axis backlash.

Tube vs axis movement: I believe I've seen that problem reported once on the internet, IIRC. It must be filled with something, I guess. As I wrote before: no experience with it myself.
