May I suggest that you consider the ELP Laser Turntable. It will 
play all your requirements, the mid-range one will have complete
variability of replay speed from ca. 25-90 rpm, and any repeated
testing for identification is completely non-invasive. If you want to
make a proper transfer, cleaning of the record (with the equipment
supplied with the LT) is mandatory. 

The LT is costly, but it leaves no trace on the record. At present it
cannot play a transparent record surface (and many acetates are 
really transparent, only coloured with methyl violet). Try the website 
of ELP:  www.elpj.com. The LT was demonstrated at ARSC 2000 
and will be shown in New York this upcoming weekend.

Good luck,
