mmmm will see if i can get the sizes! or a motor to get a look at

Let us know how you get on... Could be a market in this... Don't tell Viewloader though... They might not like it

Cockers, just pulled an empire reloader apart, and the motor assembly is basically a standard servo, one concern though. The motor is fed at 12v, and most servos run a 5v.
Anyway i have a servo assembly you can have if you want it, motor gears and case, and i've allready removed the bits that aren't needed.
