high torque AC motor ugrade or kit

I am thinking about putting a new motor on a Townshend Rock turntable, and am looking to get an AC motor. My reasons being that they don't have the speed drift issues that DC motors have.

In any event I wanting to know where I can get a good AC motor kit - I am looking for a serious high torque item, like the berger on the DPS, I am not looking for a cheap Phillips 24 pole type.

BTW - i have looked at and considered the Origin Live one, and there are very mixed views over them

FYI, all the Origin Live motors and controllers are DC.

Heed Audio Orbit 2 ($700) is a controller for low amperage AC motors and Sound-Carrier makes controllers for high amperage AC motors (under a $1,000 US).
