I'd be interested in a motor/controller that could be retrofitted to the likes of Thorens and Linn suspended decks. (TD150 - LP12) Platter feedback could be arranged by the addition of a strobe ring attached to a subplatter and perhaps an optical pick-up. I think this would be the biggest challenge for a couple of reasons: 1) elastic belt is very lossy 2) relatively light weight platter system and lower moment of enertia. But if you do work in this area.........With regard to your assessment of the Teres motor and controller I think one also needs to consider platter mass-moment of enertia at the rim and bearing drag into the whole of it. Like other large-platter turntables, once you get that platter up to speed it tends to keep spinning there, taking longer than a minute or two to coast down. An extreme example might be the Walker with its 70 lb air bearing platter system. Lloyd's not particular about what drive belt you put on it because once that platter gets up to speed, he can cut the belt and it just keeps on turning and turning and..... Anyway back to the Teres situation. Wow isn't something that is going to be heard on one of these when all is working properly. Perhaps you can measure it by instrument, but the human ear is going to think things are very pacey indeed. Or perhaps I'm just predisposed to think that. There's always room for improvement. An improved motor/controller for the Teres would be welcomed by me fwiw.
