Converting a 46-1203 to play 33s
#1

I found it in a warehouse that had some stuff of an old relative. It's in perfect shape and works flawlessly. Is it possible to convert it to play 33s?

Let me say this... this is the first vintage radio/turntable I've ever dealt with. I have some experience working on old guitar tube amps, so I'm not a complete newbie. However dealing with motors and such would be new territory for me. I found a good schematic of this model and I have an old ARRL handbook that might help. But I'm wondering if this is even possible. It seems to me that all I'd have to do is find a way to slow the motor down. Please advise.

Thanks!!
John
