John,

I found a TV rotator, using 4 conductor wire cable for control, for about 60 
to 70 dollars but I can't recall the name of it.  A friend looked it up on 
the internet and I do not have it up yet so I'll have someone look at the 
name and model.  The control box has a rotary dial perfect for the blind but 
if you can find an old AR22, that would be your best bet.

Phil.
