Re: pic: Tunring turret
A point to consider... We attempted using a lazy susan in a prior year for a turret.
What we found was if there was ANY wobble of the vertical part of the turret the lazy susan would eventually spread a little wider and the ball bearings would fall out.
So if you decide to follow that path, make certain, you don't have any wobble of the vertical. Or find a method to keep the two plates close together, so the bears don't fall out.

Good Luck!!
