thanks for that m_c
suspect they may operate in a very similar manor.
the motor brake is first deactivated, the motor turns moves the turret wheel forward to unlock and continues to rotate the turret counter clockwise until it moves just past its next tool. it then rewinds direction until the turret is retracted to the lock position and the motor brake is enabled.
feedback by way of a six position rotary switch for position and a microswitch for lock/unlock (turret forward/back)
i can imagine stopping the turret rotation fast enough is quite important for these turrets.

are you running one? i would very much be interested in finding a pre-existing or similar macro for it.
