I had a turntable that had a plastic stroboscopic disk mounted on it to
dial in the speed. It was strictly 33 rpm though. iirc the platter was
aluminum but it was quite heavy.
I\'ve got a direct drive quartz controlled turntable that can be set to
exactly 33.33 +- a bit if you dial it in.
Not thirty-three and a third?

Sounds like a good way to annoy a neighbour you hate and prevent them
listening to the radio station you don\'t like.
People got used to hearing squeals in the early evening when people were
tuning their radios in. Just as, later, people listening on long wave
got used to the whistling interference from 405 line TVs.

Officially it\'s a throttle tension adjustment. Crank it down and it\'s a
poor man\'s cruise control. The trick is to get it tight enough so the
throttle won\'t close by itself but you can still manually twist it.
It\'s really handy so you can stand on the pegs, stick your arms out, and
play airplane.
