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.
