I can run from mains voltage, so supply isn't too much of a consideration in that I could use a Dc power supply to run a 12v motor (which I expect it will be) or anything else.

The main factors are:
Slow rpm - 10-30rpm ish.
Run continuously for up to 1-2 hours.
Quiet... This is for a home display so it must be quiet!
Small - but I understand what is small? Ultimately this is going to be fitted under a circular base, approx 250mm diameter. Whatever the motor height is will raise the base. So the smaller the better to fit under a 25cm dial base.

Any help appreciated.

Have a look at microwave oven turntable motors. These are thin (circa 12-15 mm) and run at the right sort of speed range.

Hi raynerd,

Have a look at an old 5.25 inch floppy drive spindle motor, or even a 3.5 inch one.  The motors have the controller built in, I'm sure that they can be controlled digitally.  They are pancake type motors and are around 1/2" thick.

HTH.
