...it looks a bit rough but it does work!
Now I need to make a PWM controller for it and tidy things up a bit..

The motor is from a computer mag tape drive (about 35 years old), I made the worm and wheel and the rest is 9mm aluminium plate, also from the old tape drive. The motor is rated at 48v, it will drive the table down to 5v but is shown here at 13v smooth DC from an old bench power supply.
I feel the wheel will not last long and I am sure it would be OK being able to run a little faster so I will probably be making another, but smaller, worm and wheel sometime.
Sorry about the poor quality video.
