Capt, I have pondered over this myself, I had a good one figured out for an indoor shelf layout that involed using one of those old hand crank drills and a small ball catch used for cabinet doors, I emailed Vic this idea back when i first saw his layout drawing. First are you looking to be able to remove the turntable or at least the bridge from the pit? Second Do you plan on powering it or manual operation? I'm useaully pretty good of thinking up working parts for such things.
