Default Re: Mains synchronous clock movement

Another approach is to rewind the motor to operate on a low voltage and add a transformer. I've previously linked here to a website which gives details, but I can't spot my posting at the moment. It makes sense because the typical coil for operation at 240v is wound with thousands of turns of fine wire, whereas rewinding for, say, 6 volts means fewer turns of thicker wire, much more manageable.
