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.


are you sure the output needed from the adaptor is Ac and not Dc or
vice versa? this might explain the non-movement.

I was thinking that too. Most of the fibre optic lamps that I have seen
which have a colour wheel in, use a low voltage AC motor, so if the OP is
trying to use a DC supply, then the motor won't run.
