Thanks!

Not a dumb question at all, I wish my set did have 1920s/30s vintage tube circuitry, but nope it's of modern yet simple solid state electronics. The LED light banks and the simple video modulated LED driver circuit that I have screwed on top of the set is all there is of the electronics. As for the AC motor speed control, I used a variac to adjust the speed and for slowing the motor down I simply press the motor's spindle pulley with my finger to brake the motor a bit. So pretty simple setup really.
