We do not circle the galaxy on a perfect line through the center- we bob up and down through the top and bottom half every 26,000 years

Yup. In much the same way we would sometimes bob up and sometimes bob down past the equator if we were walking across Africa from Gabon to southern Somalia.

What exactly would you expect your compass to do each time you wandered across the equator?
