Duhhhh!
Windshield wiper motor: ashamed of myself for not thinking of that :)
Can I run that off a battery smaller than a car battery? (Just ocurred
to me that if I have a car battery sitting out there I'm inviting
theft. But if I can run it from a smaller battery of some type, it
would both be fairly unattractive as an item of theft, *and* I could
conceal it more readily than a car-sized battery (out of sight, out of
mind). [The Gearhead motor: high speed is ...12 Vdc, 4 Amps. Low speed
...12 Vdc, 0.91 Amps.]

((Am also looking at the sailboat servo idea, but the WWMtr. idea looks
pretty attractive, esp. if I can cut down on the power supply size.))

Not yelling; caps only for emphasis ----> THANK YOU FOR THE RAPID
RESPONSES !
