Yes I am using the original transformer drive with the idler wheel. Not an EE but if I understand you, with the original motor, I would need to control the frequency Hz just like a VFD. Well darn don't have any or those lying around.
In my simple mind I was thinking along the lines of a dimmer switch, but figured that would put out way too much RF.
So that must be why the older phonograph motors governor is friction controlled.
