I used an electric winch I picked up at the hardware store for $100. It has a lock on it so when power is lost the winch stays in place. I then cut open the switch and modified it to fit inside a little wall mounted box so it looks nice on the wall.

I have wondered that for years

That's some setup for a 50LB TV, and what does it look like FINISHED?

Hello Brian, how did you make it stop at the certain lower point and make it stop when it reached the top? Is there a limit switch?

@coinkeeper3389

I currently know the lower point and the upper point lines up with the framed box around the TV. I was going to put in a control board/switch to turn it off at certain points, but I haven't gotten around to it.

@@coinkeeper3389 i would get a limit switch and connect it with a relay or get a switch that can hold the current so that when it’s setup as normally closed the circuit continues while holding the button. When it hits a certain part of the frame, the circuit opens and pressing the button on the wall wont dont anything since the circuit is open (reached the ceiling). Using the down button will work since that circuit is closed and operational. Once the limit is depressed, (going down) the button will become operational again. Your concern is the upper point not the lower point, but you can do a similar setup for lower point if you like.

Your limit switch NC(normal closed) would be in series with the button for going upwards.

Basically a splice in between the cable of the button

kzread.info/dash/bejne/hIOFxs9tdMmwcaw.html Here is an update I just recorded. I was hoping to put a cover under the tv that slides away when it lowers, but the time to rig and build it wasnt worth it. I also closed off the winch and insulated it(not shown) to reduce noise. It can still be heard running through the house, but it is at a reduced volume. Enjoy.

@@Big0281 good luck. I used the switch that came with the winch. It was pretty easy to remove it from the housing that it came in. I fed it through a hole in the wall and then I just hot glued it to the inside of the mount you see on the wall.

Dude you can just purchase a real mount that does the same thing without wires showing,

For several thousand dollars, yes. This was less than $200
