Yup   I bought a speedway one a while ago.  The adapters have to be made or bought and I use plastic cutting boards as turntables but it sure works good.  Like you said, no guessing.

Making progress.
"There can be no divided allegiance here.  Any man who says he is an American,
but something else also, isn't an American at all.  We have room for but one
flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is
the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a
loyalty to the American people."
