Turntable Speed


Hello Forum, I'm getting back into record listening after a long hiatus. Please forgive the naive question, but here it is.  My former 1981 turntable had a speed control with the little window where you could fine-tune the speed if it was a little off. I've noticed current turntables don't have that. Reasons?
Thank you.

The SOTA Eclipse package with Condor and Roadrunner is a very worthwhile upgrade for a belt drive turntable that you are invested in that doesn’t have automatic speed correction. I did the upgrade on my VPI Classic 4 myself. Combined with an Origin Live belt it totally transformed the sound. W/F is .06 as measured with Analog Magic and speed consistency as shown by the Roadrunner usually shows 33.333 + .001 or .002.
