Hi again Dave, Here is the info on the motor for what it is worth. Looks like it is a geared jobby, as there are various speeds available in the same housing. I chose this one because of it's nice compact size.
The only other info I have is a drawing with all dimensions shown, no electrical spec, or gearing info.
Hope this helps. Cheers Dek. :med:

Dek,
Not sure if this helps you ......my son and made a clock using a stepper motor and 12 LEDs....driven by a pic micro ....the LEDs were for hours and the sweep hand minutes...all battery driven...no inverter needed just in case you change the motor..
But back to your orig....if the inverter uses a sq wave then as Dave says, the motor might sing a bit...maybe some sound proof material might help if its too loud...
Deko:
Thanks for the reply John. :thumbup: The clock has been up and running for quite a while now with no problems. Like I said earlier, to fit a new motor of a different type would need a major rework, which I really don't fancy doing.
The only reason for wanting to use an inverter is to show the clock at an event where there is no mains supply. Knowing very little about these things, I didn't want to risk damage to the motor for the sake of a few hours use at a show.
There is a thread about the clock on here in "General Crafts" under the title Fibre optic clock, and a (rather poor) vid near the end of the thread. Thanks again John.
Cheers Dek. :med:
John Rudd:
Just keep an eye on the temperature of the motor, if it feels too warm to the touch then you might have to think of another method for powering.....
