I pose the question regarding the RPM. Would this not slow the motor down to
much?

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?
