Is this a stupid idea?

DickTurpin:
If I had some cogs and I put the monitor mounted on a big round disc of wood. I rigged up a handle that I could turn from the side, and lock into position 90 degrees to the left (vertical) or 90 to the right (horizontal)

? Is this possible and if so is it practical ?

BadMouth:
Sure, though we like using motors.  Anything is possible given enough time & effort.

A long time ago, one of the MAME devs had a cab that switched from vertical to horizontal when you pulled different ends of a rope.  ;D

End result is all the same, although I like stuff automatic.
It's more complicated to set up, but simpler to use in the end.

DickTurpin:
Id love it to be automated but how difficult/costly do you think that would be ?

Edit: Misread your post.

drventure:
Make all the gears polished brass and the handle cast bronze, then show off the mechanism in a skeleton cab and you just might have something!
