I've seen a pseudo speed controller for this kind of motor into a washing mashine, the rotor is squirell type, apply on A or B terminals a small pack of sinusoidal alternaces. The PWM resulted with a duty cycle determined by the number of the ON alternaces pack and the OFF alternaces pack will gave you a quite precise control of the rotation and will decrease considerably the power on the motor shaft. So the gear will be essential. Do not try with only one alternace of the main because the false phase shifter (the capacitor) required for rotation will cry. The minimum ON pack must have at least 5...10 complete sinusoide while the OFF could be much longer. A true Matsushita inverter with 10Hz-150Hz control will be probably too expensive (about 150$).
