Great job! (I like the "box" a lot.)

Excellent work. Very tidy and organized. Can you share any info on the parts you used to make it?

The platter drive is an electric window motor from a Toyota Carina.
The vacuum motor is a cannibalised 1800W Hoover.
Platter was from a Marantz 6170
Cabinet was cut down from a display case.
Power supply for the 12 window motor is an AT power supply from a server, and I run it on the 5 volt rail.
All pipework is 42mm PVC solvent weld waste pipe.

It looks that car parts are usually good motor donors (window or windshield cleaner motor).
Thank you for the info.
