Yes.  It was used as the left-right and up-down rotate motor for a 
security camera mount.  Two of them were mounted inside of a 9" diameter 
sphere, with the camera mounted to a swing arm on top.

Basically, any motor built for security camera panning would be perfect 
for rotating our turrets, because cameras sweep at the same rate as our 
turrets and the motors used for security systems are heavy duty because 
of their continuous use.
