turntable motors turn slowly (usually) to keep vibration down.  And, they
aren't very powerful.  But they are synchronous.  I have a drawer full of
these salvaged from old turntables - of course now, it would have been
better if I had kept the turntables, but who can know these things.  I would
recommend that you look for an old disk drive (not from a PC, but from a
mainframe) and use that motor - higher power, synchronous, and cheap (after
all, who wants a 5 meg (or whatever)  disk drive that weighs 50 pounds)
