I owned an ETX 90 long time ago for while, sounded like a coffee grinder. New redesigned version is out, not sure how good is it? Newer ones the OTA removable! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61Uy88iEZ_c |

It looks like that middle gear may be too loose on the fixed shaft and is wobbling. You could try removing the gear and putting a thin layer of heavy grease on the shaft before reinstalling the gear. All three gears could stand a thin layer of grease on the teeth to cut down on friction wear. |
