You need more stiction on your system.
You might first try moving the teflon pads up to the edge of the U in which they sit. this will cause the scope bearing to 'jam' more into the U, which increases the pressure and therefore the friction. That's an easy fix.
You might next try replacing one of the teflon pads entirely, with a higher friction pad. A tiny scrap of carpet will probably work. That's also an easy fix. (if it works but not enough, you can replace both pads, or play with the position as above).
You might ensure that you don't have a gloss finish on the contact surface of the wood bearing. this surface will make less of a difference with a teflon pad, and more of a difference with a carpet (or other) pad.
I don't think it's a hard thing to accomplish. DOn't worry.
