Installed a Pittman gear reduced motor for the dome drive. This uses a wheel with a large o-ring to drive the bearing. A spring holds tension on the wheel to keep it from slipping. Works great - first moving part and it's fun to see.

Dome Drive System
Checking the amp draw of the dome drive motor (.6 amp) with everything installed. The motor runs at .2 amp no-load. I am using a temporary speed control I had laying around for testing and will be using a different unit when everything is firmed up later.
