Hello all
Doing a production of Les Mis this summer, looks like turntable is up in the air as a possibility to happen. Going to be in a small blackbox, but I have enough space for a 17' revolve. Going to be building up a stagedeck obviously. Going with the whole upside down casters and two layers of ply on top probably. Lots of thanks to Van for his drawings he posted!
The pickle is coming in at the automation part of it. This might get close to TOS violation so I'll let mods decide.

Is almost exactly what I'm looking for. He explains details of equipment being used at the beginning of video. My questions are...is that large of a motor necessary? 3phase 2hp is quite a beefy motor.
Also, chain-drive or direct friction? Pros/Cons of each?
Any questions just ask! Thanks in advance!!!
