I posted this down the page, but I thought some might miss it.

All you would need is a variable speed drill,
2 limit switches, and here we go again...
A double pole double throw center off switch.
Set the drill on low, make sure the drill
has an adjustment for this (red knob on handle).
Mount drill at center of your boxed in monitor,
wire up the forward and reverse on the drill,
run wires to your switch and limit switches.
Here is how it would work : Hit switch to forward,
the power goes through the limit switch and when
the monitor rotates and hits that limit switch,
the drill will stop. Hit reverse to bring monitor
back to it's orignal position. thats it , a very
simple circuit...I will do this one day.
And this is how I will do it.

Try it,
Jerky
