Hi all you Orrery members,
Just added the Earth /Moon system and all seems fine. Les, I have a similar problem with Mercury slightly jamming along track but it also went through as you describe. I think it maybe to do with the central internal column going slightly skewiff as it doesn't have anything to keep it central yet (I guess that's where the motor will fix onto) so it moves side to side and I noticed this did have some effect on rotating Mercury. As for Paul seems you may have a bad cog for the Earth I wonder if you tried another pack first before going to all the trouble of going through the UK?
