If memory serves, you didn't use a turntable--it's just gravity holding the turret in, yes? (...) Yes, and they'll be in operation next (...) (23 years ago, 17-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.military)

Hi Larry, I'll let Lyndsay comment as well, but here's what I've found: It was possible to seriously damage treads to the point where they needed to be replaced - actually, this wasn't quite as intimidating a prospect as it sounds.
