Re: How to Power a Rotating Turret
We took one of the AndyMark globe motor hubs, attached it to a little nylon pulley we had left over from last year that was about the same diameter (1.5" maybe?) and screwed some scrap wedgetop tread to it. Then we just touch the tread to the outside of a 13" lazy Susan we got and turn it on. Works like a charm, and it's very simple. Not to mention, if something gets jammed and the turntable won't move (like that would ever happen, right?) it provides a failsafe so that the tread will just start slipping instead of snapping/cutting/otherwise breaking whatever was in the way.
