Speed is inversely proportional to the voltage for a DC motor. So it would run faster at a lower voltage, slower at a higher voltage.The biggest problem would be if the voltage goes to zero. I used to be able to demonstrate that effect on my old Kenwood TT. The 33/45 switch had a disconnect if you held the button 1/2 way down. The platter speed would accelerate for a long time.
I remember an AC/DC machines lab in college. The professor warned us we would get an automatic F if we ever connected the armature voltage before the field voltage to a DC motor. Theoretically, the speed would go to infinity.
Jeff TOJI like it. I like it a lot.
