Oh, and how universal are the "so called" universal motors?

They tend to be the larger motors sometimes used in washing machines.
The motors used to drive turn tables in uwaves (and water pumps in
washing machines and dishwashers) are small, AC, motors.

Synchronous? Is that why the turntable on my Daewoo sometimes goes one
way; sometimes the other? (And no, it's not a fault.) Electric clocks
sometimes had a mechanism to ensure they went the right way.
