Well, thanks for looking, right now things are on hold a bit. See in the process of collecting ideas and plans, I bought a house, which gives me MORE ROOM TO BUILD! But also less money to work with. Sorry that I have been out of it, took a lot of time to move and dig out of boxes.
Anyhow, as far as this thread goes, I don't think steppers/gear motors are the way I will be going, price is just out of the budget (read above). Basically I am really going to have to figure out a way like jim did (this way is more fun anyhow).
In between everything I looked into the Vacuum cleaner sim, found it to be kind of a pipe dream (no pun) as I spoke with someone who was in the process of building one, and many of the ideas/costs are out dated and some are just tooo hard to get working.
So I think the next best thing now, as I have come full circle on this and that being using automotive parts, much like Jim has. Maybe some sort of hydraulic system, I don't know.
Greg
