Dmx Lighting Control

Motor that has variable speed control for a Disco Ball?
I'm looking for a motor that has variable speed control which could be used to control a Disco Ball.
I know that "American DJ" makes a motor, but it only works with the DMX lighting protocol which I don't have and is total overkill for my needs anyway.
1. Does anyone know of a motor that exists other than American DJ's?
2. If not, can a motor be customized and built for under $100?
3. Finally, can anyone provide a URL to an motor manufacture or electronics surplus store that might answer any of these questions?
I should add that using a potentiometer / rheastat (light dimmer) will NOT work with the existing motor I already own.
Here's a URL to the existing motor I already own:

For your motor you will need an inverter(a device for changing the frequency).Look for a DC motor with a mechanical reduction and a dc speed controller.(you can use the motor and reduction from a mechanical toy),or you can try at a RC models store.
