I convert the M100As to 33-1/3 LPs, much more interest in that!
One just has to use a motor speed control design to get the turntable motor to spin at the right speed only while playing the record.
Mostly I hack that, but next time I'll probably make it into a module...
When I got my M100-A it had been converted to LPs. The conversion consisted ofa new gear set (which I gave to Wes at Jukebox Junkyard in partial trade for the78 gears) and 45 styli in the pickup. It sounded absolutely awful. But unlike the45 conversions, it was very easy to switch back.
