Installing EQ-1 'clock' drive - Voltage required?

Hi All


I am adding an EQ-1 drive to my Father's mount. It is setup to run from 4 D batteries, so a nominal 6V.


Does anyone know if it will drive reasonably accurately from 5V? I have checked that it runs, but, hard to judge the actual speed of rotation.


The particular unit is from TUV Rheinland NO: 9832 117-9803.


It looks similar to the Orion EQ-1M


Thanks for any suggestions.


Philip
