So far I have repurposed a pair of speaker wall mount brackets for the sides. Then marked out the travel of the arm and the pivot point. I transfer drilled the up and down stops, pivot point, and the two spacer bolts. I then drilled the pivot bearing mounting holes and fitted the bearings. I used a long 8mm bolt as the pivot and drilled the arm 8mm and bolted it in position
I was going to use gears to rotate the pot but the ones I got from amazon were too small. I thought the best way would be to use pulleys. I made the large one for the pivot out of a plastic waste pipe union and put a piece of MDF which I cut out with a hole saw to center it
All bolted up it looks like this
More later.
