The cheap method is to use a slipmat.
The joke was they were good for putting in light
bulbs... someone
could stand on top with a light bulb to the socket and turn the motor on
to screw it in.
Except that it would turn the wrong way...
When I was in broadcasting the turntables were EMT. They had a slip
coupling between the main (heavy) platter and the actual (light) one
supporting the disk. So with the motor turning you could stop / cue
the disk by holding one finger to the rim of the upper platter. When
released it would start 'instantly'...
