Thanks for interest and the excellent idea, using a worm to one input makes it seem obvious now.
The stepper could drive the sun gear, and the worm the outer with the output drive from the planet ring.

I did have a further thought about using the manual input to control the stepper speed. But this is always fiddly and does not give immediate response the way a planetary gear system would.

Many thanks for your interest.

Best Regards
