Oracle Delphi mkII motor + PSU questions

I have an Oracle Delphi turntable, a mkII I believe as it has the motor with the silver flywheel on the top, but which doesn't have its PSU and where the motor speed adjustment looks different to others I have seen. I want to get it up and running again.

If I understand correctly it uses a 24V DC motor, so as far as a replacement PSU, can I use an old computer 24V DC PSU, assuming the little pin connector is the right size to fit the socket on the back of the motor housing? All other Delphi mkiis that I have seen have an access hole on the back of the motor housing, to adjust two trim pots with one marked 33 and the other marked 45. There is only one trim pot visible on the back of mine and only a sticker marked 33, with a much larger knob to the left of this with no marking at all (and which is actually proud of the case rather than within it). I assume the larger knob is for the courser speed adjustment that I have read about and the little one for fine adjustment, though wonder if anyone has ever seen this set up before? Obviously until I get a PSU for it I cannot establish what each adjuster on the rear is for, though if anyone actually knows and wants to chime in then please feel free.
