Outboard speed control for Thorens TD-124

Apologies if this has been covered before.

Has anyone tried an outboard speed control for the Thorens TD-124? I know that some of them don't work because they are either DC or too weak (Pro-ject).

I have a Nottingham Wave Mechanic and wonder if that would work? I need to get an adapter for the plug though.

Gracias

Checked out the Phoenix. It won't work because there is not enough clearance from the platter."

You may be talking about something else here. Every speed control I have ever seen, is an external box that you plug the motor into. Also, torque shouldn't be an issue. You'll still be giving the motor what ever amount of power it needs to run.

"The VPI might work, as long as it sends out AC, correct?"

Yes. If you don't already have any A/C products, you can use a regenerator like a PS Audio 500. 2 upgrades are better than 1.
