Wow,
It must be the last week before ship as everyone is on edge. Stephen, Mike Betts is a good source for control. You do need to come up with a list of what you want to do. Do you need fine control of speed, direction control, full torque with speed control, etc. If you just want to change speed and don't care about anything else, you can find lots of variable voltage circuits that might work and are easy to build for beginners. You might want to hook up with an amatuer radio club for some added help. There is some really active clubs in Britain
