Calculate turntable torque

Hi guys!

I'm getting a vinylrecorder, and as everyone with this machine i'm thinking to the torque...

As a dj i've got a pair of Technics 1200, matched pair (that sincerly don't want to use to cut), and a very rare Teksonor dk902, a turntable hand-made in Italy in the early 90's for broadcast and clubs, with +-18 of pitch and apparently a lot of torque!
The problem is that in the web there are not so many info aboout this turntable, i've found some specs, but not the torque...
the starting time is 0,45 (less than sl 1200)
wow and flutter < 0,07%

I think that the wow and flutter is more than the sl because of the plate, it is of plexiglass, really nice but maybe not so stable, so i'm thinking to change it with an alu one (any suggestion for producer in europe are welcome)

Anyway the turntable is extremely solid, the base is in die-cast iron, with a view electronics, i think that with some mods, like new plate and external psu, can be better than the sl.

What's your opinion?

Here some more info and pictures.

Hi, this Teksonor mount a Jvc motor, the same of ql-a75.
The motor is a dd, quartz controlled, the model is mc-955a, 1.8 kg/cm of torque.
I had the same motor mounted on a Amix, professional broadcast turntable.
Check below the turntable if the model is the same of mine.
Cheers.

Thanks for the infos!

The torque is more than a sl 1200, so it is better to cut?
How can i minimaze wow and flutter? With an heavier platter?
