Hi all-

   Yes, a 60Hz strobe should be applied to the outer dot ring.  I found an LED nightlight that worked nicely, and verified our little science fair project (it also worked on my turntable).  In my case there was very little variation in the flywheel stability.

Yep.  Either an AC-driven fluorescent bulb, or AC-driven neon bulb would be ideal.  The question is whether one set of dots is for 60 Hz, and the other set is for 50 Hz.  I'll have to test it, I guess.

That's it exactly. I believe the outside ring is for 60 Hz.
