Got any idea how to construct a dreamachine without the turntable? I just need something to fit the paper cylinder to that will spin at 78 rpms. Old turntables that spin 78's can be hard to come by, so I think an even more D.I.Y. approach is necessary.

Uh yeah sure whatever.
Literally just Googling "78rpm motor" turns up suitable results. If it doesn't need to be exactly 78rpm, pretty much any geared motor will work.

From the wiki. William S. Burroughs famously built one and showed it off to a lot of his inner circle. Regardless, thank you anon, that's exactly what I was looking for, have a pleasant day.

this sounds like a job for superChinaArduino and his trusty sidekick LEDboy
srsly: if you want to be able to set the exact frequency, it's easier and cheaper to blink LEDs than it is to spin a motor
