 If you need gearing for the capacitor drive, try using the reduction gear 
 assembly found in dot matrix printers platen drives, which are thrown away, 
 or can be had for almost free..

110 VAC selsyns work great for rotatry inductors and variable capacitors.  
Only a 180 degree calibrated dial is needed for variable capacitors and a 
counter dial for rotary inductors.  It has a "variable speed" feature also.
