Well you know it's a QLD RSL club when there are grab rails above the urinals We had to attend this one ....

Cheers bert, I have not even considered any of this yet, except to say I can still connect to all the surfaces required to drive it all. What you have there looks like a drive for a sirius dome, worm driven cog drive which connects to a toothed gear around the dome.

At this point I'm tying to avoid getting metal bent/shaped etc, I wanna see what I can do with my tools. Jigsaw/router/square/level. Your azimith feedback would fail if the dome slipped in a wheel driven environment.

I thought that domedriver site showed the board driving relays to power everything, I might need to take another look? I would have thought driving relays would avoid any current problems on the board?

My next problem is a curved door ... bugger, wood is supposed to be square and straight ....

[edit]
I should also note that only 5 of the 8 turntable wheels connect with the upper ring. It all turns just fine but it appears that the bottom ring is not level. A number of those wheels never touch the top ring. More on this one later.
