Regarding ways to make the motor mount adjustable to permit phase
adjustment, John Freau's electronic phase adjuster makes that completely
unnecessary.  All you need is a small Variac and a motor run capacitor.
For my Teletype motor I used a 2 Amp Variac and a 40uF run cap.  Photos

How did [PHISH] get into the subject line?

	How much phase change (shaft position WRT no adjustment) did you get?  Variacs without gaps in the core are more nearly variable saturable reactors than inductors I should think.  Wondered about the PHISH for the last several posts.
