Some time ago, I made a controller for this motor, using microprocessor, that generates the necessary sequence to drive this motor with minimal current consumption (see here)... the firmware is very simple, just a program loop with specific number of passes to keep exact timing (it does't have to be 1rpm, it could be anything)
If you are handy with this kind of stuff, there are very cheap options available - for example, you can get Microchip controller from Jaycar and program it to drive the above mentioned motor.

Then again, if you are handy, you already know about this anyway..
Jeez, under $3? What a bargain! I just grabbed a couple to play with.
