Or did you get one assuming a DC motor, and when you got it home you
discovered the VS pulley?

Not complaining. Just commenting. I acquired several treadmill
motors and found that one of them had a AC motor and a VS pulley. So
if you want a DC motor, check how the speed is controled. Like you I
found both interesting.

Cheap Variacs are a little hard to find. But a light dimmer or Router
speed control will work and I think will give you somewhat better
speed control than a Variac.

motor would do better at really low speeds.

just one responding. :-)
