I just thought of an interesting source - try finding an old treadmill.
they use d/c motors, and usually have a variable sped control.

How about using a DC motor? The speed of a dc motor varies with the
voltage applied. So if you get a 12 volt motor, and it goes too fast,
then give it less voltage and it will slow down.

That's a good idea, I would need a motor that is rated for continuous use
at slow speeds. I have a rotisserie motor but it's not rated for continuos
use.
