Turret Rotation Mod
Hey Guys I owe one of you and I forget who a big thanks! I remember a thread about putting a 10 ohm 1/4 watt resistor in the wire for power to the turret rotation. Wow the turret now moves scale speed.
So whoever you are thanks! This is great!
Nowto install one on the elevation motor since I was hand cranked it should be kinda slow.

RE: Turret Rotation Mod
All you are doing is limiting the power to the turret rotation motor, so all you need to do is wire in a resister inline with one of the wires going to the rotation motor. The issue will be getting enough amperage through to the motor. If the resister really heats up a lot you migh want to try a higher wattage rating. Also if you wire in a 10 ohm resistor and the motor does not run, find a 10 ohm resister with a higher wattage rating.
