Transfer Table from Flatbed Scanner ?

It's a neat idea - the scanner motor is designed for precise control (they may be stepper motors, which I know little about beyond that they are very precise) so you should be able to wire it to move in small increments (maybe put a microswitch in line with each track so that it automatically stops there, then have a pushbutton that over-rides that to move it to the next one - you'd just release the pushbutton to have it stop at the next track). Could be wired to operate with two buttons, one to move each way. This is way beyond my electronics abilities but it sounds like a really neat project!
