Is it possible to reduce the speed of a Tud to around 150rpm?

Looking at the TUD on lathes.co.uk, it seems it is a plain turning lathe with no leadscrew or back gear, the slowest speed is about 200 RPM.
It depends on what facilities you have available and how much you have to spend on what you can do, however I would say for the sake of reducing 50 RPM unless it needs to be 150 RPM for a particular application don't worry about it.
You can adjust the speed by changing the sizes of the pulleys or fitting a 3 phase motor and driving it with a Vector Frequency Drive (VFD) from single phase domestic supply. Neither of these methods is a simple fix for what may be a not-often requirement.
Sorry I cannot be of more help.
