There are lots of ways to make a treadmill motor variable power supply. You can use an SCR or you can use the treadmill motor control board, but if you put one together make sure you do it correctly. There are lots of little mistakes that people sometimes make. I put together this video to help you avoid said mistakes.

The choke in most of my videos is part number 130993. Instead of getting one new I would get a used one. A lot of treadmills come with a choke. Go to eBay and search “treadmill motor choke” BUT know that most people on eBay don’t know what they have and the word "transformer" will also appear in most listings. Problem is a choke and a transformer look almost identical so some listings are for transformers and some are fore chokes because the sellers think they are interchangeable. They are not. They would only be interchangeable if you modify a transformer to work as a choke. (see my DIY choke video) To tell the difference count the wires. A choke will only have 2, a transformer will have 3 or more. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
