Hello Eurobricks. First time in the technic forum so go easy on me, this is a bit tricky to explain. I am building a large screen which uses the same mechanism (treads with plates/tiles attached rotating around) from the Nintendo Entertainment System set, #71374. Mine is on a bigger scale but otherwise I copied the instructions very closely. I should note I don't own the set so I can only see it online for reference. After getting most of the mechanism in place and testing it I noticed the panels (tiles and plates which move along the treads) tend to wobble, as in they shift slightly up and down. I can't see any obvious reason for this but I am guessing the larger scale means the treads lose some tension over distance. Anyway, I figured instead of sulking I might actually flip the whole mechanism 90 degrees so the screen would now flow up and down, like credits after a movie. But that leaves me without a guide to follow, so that is why I am here. Has anyone used this mechanism flipped 90 degrees? I don't really know how to search for models featuring it. I am low on the pieces required, so it would involve dismantling my current setup in order to test the new one. If anyone knows what I am talking about (good luck) and has any suggestions/advice (I don't have any photos as this project was meant to be kept secret as long as possible) please post something, anything. Thank you.

Here is my video review on the new 71374 Nintendo Entertainment System: THE GOOD: Great building experience for both the NES and TV. The console really captures the look of the NES. The TV is definitely one of the best build so far this year in my opinion. The TV action showing Mario jumping around is great. Printed pieces. There are only 3 stickers in this set. Works ever so well with LEGO Super Mario. The little easter egg added to the NES is nice little touch. THE NOT SO GOOD (Really nip picking here): TV is more interesting than the console :P The game pak eject mechanism can be improved. Missing AC adaptor and actual connection from the console to the TV ... lol Overall, I love this set. The building experience was great and the end result is very very good. I'm surprised how well the Super Mario level works. Although it's one hell of a mission to align all those 1x1 tiles. There are so much packed into the TV. The console is also great, it's realistic and the way you are able to interact with the game pak and controller are great. Also, all those printed pieces!!! It's also interesting how the TV is designed, it's quite easy to switch the moving parts. I wonder if LEGO is planning to add expansion to this. (e.g. different game pak different game on screen?) Totally recommend this and definitely adding the LEGO Super Mario adds more fun to this.
