I took a Technics SL-1500 (not a 1200, but worth maybe $50) and cut one of
the connections to the speed adjustment and added a linear-taper 100k
potentiometer and got a very accurate ultra-slow range: try it yourself.
You can still use the normal range because you have "course" and "fine"
adjustments.
