is there anyway to wire the switch to operate the table so i can turn in clockwise then flick a switch to turn it counter clockwise?
right now it just turns one direction, have simple on/off toggle switch hooked up, what do i need to do to change that if possible.
any help with diagrams and parts list would be great
thanks

Stu,
if the turntable is operating with DC, all you have to do is getting a
"Double Pole" switch with "On-Off-On" (momentary) positions.
- Wire the two center poles as feed to your turntable,
- feed one pair of the other two from your power supply
(you should be able to operate now in one direction again),
- now wire from the two poles connecting to your power supply
CROSS-WISE to the two remaining free poles.
