rotek bearing ideas

I was going to recycle the old rotec out of the 120 when it occurred to me all the uses it could have. 1) fab welding table!! Put it on 3 legs and attach a 40" top on it, and be able to fixture stuff on it and turn it while welding. It weighs 500 or so, and it would be one of those tables you could get medieval on with a sledge. 2) make your own rotating tower like the space needle. It holds a 17000 pound upper and takes all sorts of abuse. you could make some cool tower. It is 35" inside diameter so you could have a ladder up through the center. Way bigger than a standard 24" manhole and we have crawled down through a bunch of those in the day. 3) put your cool auto shell on it with a 50' paint job on it, and let er spin. 4) build your own small observatory and spin the whole thing. 5) Make your own G-force ride. Get drunk and turn it up!! Go ahead, come up with ideas.
