A large pulley such as used on a swamp cooler (it's a southwest thing), and a V belt is how we did it in 2009. Worked great. We used ball bearings that fit in the pulley over the belt to support the turret.
here's a partial view of how it was built. I think it was still a prototype at this stage, but the same turret drive/support parts were used on the final version.
