A remotely operable turntable for supporting thereon and rotating a television or other appliance includes a mounting plate for supporting the television and which is rotatably interconnected to a stationary base through a central bearing assembly with the mounting plate including at its periphery a motor, a drive shaft and a rubber wheel. The rubber wheel is mounted to the drive shaft so that the wheel is in resistive contact with the periphery of the base whereby turning of the rubber wheel by the drive shaft causes the rubber wheel to continuously engage and travel along the periphery of the base resulting in the concomitant rotation of the mounting plate and the television or other appliance placed thereupon. The turntable can be battery powered or electrically powered from a standard wall outlet and operated from a specially adapted remote control unit or a modified standard television remote control unit.
