We use this stepper on our club platforms:

I have one here I'd be happy to post you to try out. I fit works on your platform, keep it. Bojan might advise you on what he thinks of it for your purpose.

Thanks rod, yeah I do love my platform but could probably use a bit more sprucing up particularly in the two south segments. Currently plasma cut out of steel. Noticed it was slipping a bit tonight steel is quite hard, laser cut aluminium would be better.
The steel has smoothed out aluminium drive shaft so will need to rescuff for grip or try something else out. Might try wrapping it in electrical tape and see what effect that has.
Have emailed you re the motor. Very generous of you to offer that.
Cheers
Greg
