Hi all.
Hope your well.
Can I ask please for a bit of help. I don't no if I'm in the correct area, so please excuse me that.
I have a fibre optic lamp from the 1990's, UFO.
I accidentally plugged the wrong power adapter into it. Thinking it was ok, then after few minutes..I said to my wife..I thought I plugged it in. But yes wrong adapter.
I took it apart.
Inside is a mr11 (gu4) 6v 5w bulb, 10 x 1.2w fairy lights & a 6v motor. The lights work ok now that I changed them but for the motor...
The motor is a ..
6v AC ..42tyz synchronous motor,
& I can't get 1 for the life of me, not any were on the internet.
My asking for help is...
Do any of you folk know where I can get 1.
Or
Can I put a 12v substitute in place...change the 6v mr11 (gu4) bulb for a 12v ..the fairy lights for 12v . All keeping to the same wattage. & Changing the power supply adapter to 12v (same wattage). Would I be ok, my only little thing I can think of is heat.. is there going to be much heat of the 12v Vs 6v .?
Any ideas please.
I don't mind working with my fingers.
Like I say I don't know if I'm in the correct area to post.
Thanks for your time.
