I am going to build a gallows turntable in On30 and was wondering if anyone out there had any plans or know where to find some plans for a spyder for the base of the turntable. I have googled and found a number of pictures but no hints on how to make one. Any ideas greatly appreciated

May I ask what a spyder is?

I Googled 'turntable spyder' and 'turntable spider' and came up dry.  Perhaps a link to a photo of one?

RE60 and all

I have JPEG images of the gallows turntables in Laws (Bishop) CA and Carson city NV. (similar design)

Send me your Email or I can send them to some one else for posting
