I used an old Gates (model 16c if I recall) in college (surplus from a radio station renovation) It was a massive affair with significant mechanical and audio rumble from the idler wheel drive system. A 3 speed model with a 3-on-the-floor lever to slip it into gear. To use it in a home system, you would, minimally need to locate a new idler wheel with soft, pliant rubber. Alterrnatively, consider belt-driving the platter.
