Default AC Adapter questions...

Thanks everyone.
I found a 12 volt 3 amp adapter but the motor still doesn't turn. It
must be busted. Any suggestions on how to determine if the motor is
really broken? Maybe I'll try to replace it with an old clock motor
or something.


Clock motors are very low torque, but might work depending on the weight of
the wheel.
You need something more like the motor that turns the plate inside a
microwave.
You might also try to take your motor to an electric shop and they might
take pity on you and fix it.
