Except that it would turn the wrong way...
When I was in broadcasting the turntables were EMT. They had a slip

coupling between the main (heavy) platter and the actual (light) one

supporting the disk. So with the motor turning you could stop / cue

the disk by holding one finger to the rim of the upper platter. When

released it would start 'instantly'...

It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris

and hysterically inflated market opportunities. (Cory Doctorow)
