Here's the deal:  need something to act as a primary actuator and driver for
rolller coils and a vacuum variable.  The problem with trying to find and
use an AC and/or DC motor is that few if any meet the basic criteria:

a.  be reversible
b.  have plenty of shaft torque
c.  be very slow rpm (can, of course have a reduction gear drive)

One of the things that looks promising is a tv rotator control unit with
indicator box.  The shaft size coupling/adapter is not a problem.  That can
be accommodated.  These things have lots of torque.  They have a feedback
cirucit and indicator to tell you where they're at.  They're reversible.
