It looks like the motor is not driven with PWM but more likely a constant current source to keep the speed steady.

Below is an oscilloscope trace of the HP-65 reading a card, showing the motor voltage (2V/div) and the lower one the voltage across the 4K64 trim resistor (0.2V/div). The resistor obviously sets the motor current.

cheers
