It looks as if you added some extra gears on the top.  Is that just for
decoration, or to increase the friction to prevent unwanted turning?  (At one
point I decided I needed that, and added an 8t gear turning a 24t on a friction
pin at the top there - I've noticed before that the turntables seem to vary
quite alot in the amount of friction they produce, and a very subtle realignment
of pieces can cause it to change).

Yes, there are many possible sources of frictions differences, especially in the
turntables, quite sensitive to assembly (I had to lubricate two of them).

After making sure that all parts were correctly aligned and fully plugged, it
worked better but still moved in cycle instead of going straight (seams in my
tiling doesn't help!). I added a 16t driving two 16t on friction pin to get it
right.

(...) I finished mine just now (made a video but can't find the cable to connect my PDA to the computer) and a ran into similar issues. I lubed my turntables after reading your comment Philo, and it improved things slightly, but I also found that (...) (15 years ago, 29-Dec-09, to lugnet.technic)
