Thanks, Dan. Yours was a different take on what I was considering.
Will look into it.

Hobby Engineering has a bunch of gearmotors...

I bought three to remote my tuner. Plenty of torque to turn the caps
and inductor switch in a "1500W" MFJ tuner. They're only $5.50 apiece
new.

They're also all-plastic gearboxes and output shafts, so you don't have
to worry about insulating shaft couplers, etc.

My gut feeling is that the ones I bought (Gear Motor 9: Right Angle
Shaft) could be a bit undersized to turn a roller inductor, especially
since you probably want to go a bit faster.
