AC Synchronous Motor Suggestion Need

I don't think such a device is being manufactured today. It is either the Airpax types, which cannot in any way be described as premium grade or it is a BLDC motor which some people call AC synchronous in their marketing brochures.

Better look at old profi tape decks for a Papst.
 
You might check the following thread.

3 Phase Class D amp for DIY BLDC motor Drive


It describes the use of a BLDC motor operated on 3 phase AC and includes the plans for an amp to drive this motor. These motors, by Anaheim Automation, are extremely smooth. One option is a drop-in for the Hurst motor that VPI (and others) use. I have made a couple of these and can recommend highly. It's well worth the effort and the build is straightforward.

Is PAPST still making motor? As I know they supplied motor for Voyd many years ago.
 
Not for our intents and purposes. This is why i mentioned old capstan motors from profi decks.

It is only the Papst ausenlaufeur which is of interest and i have never seen one which is NOS.

BLDC motors produce a sound i cannot live with and this is why i use a simple brushed Maxon and occasionally a Papst.

No experience with stepper motors but they do sound frightful 🙂
