The Nottingham Analogue turntable motors are designed to only just have enough strength to turn the platters, which are heavy, and you have to push start them. It’s not a method I would advocate, personally, but some people seem to like them.

The Connisseur motors should have enough welly to start the platter. They’re wobbly, noisy, vibratory, rarely turn in the right direction and are just generally appalling things, but they do generally have sufficient strength!
