One thing I once considered was adding a second motor. I had a Philips EL3542 which was playing too slow, and disconnecting the main belt driving the reel holders and associated clutches resulted in it playing normally. So I considered adding a second motor to power the reel holders, and leave the original motor just driving the flywheel. In the end I couldn't find any space for the motor, and it seemed too much work anyway.
