Is this what you are trying to achieve ?

#declare NT1 = 0;
#declare Tower1 = union {
  cone{0*z, .75, 3.25*z, .25 material {GlassTex1}}
  #while (NT1 < 360)
     cylinder{<0,0,0>,<0,0,3.288>, .25 rotate -8.75*y translate -.75*x
rotate NT1*z texture{DarkMetal1}}
    #declare NT1 = NT1 + 30;
  #end
}
