<p>Hi Robert - I'm definitely interested assuming it's the 0.5 RPM version; how much do you want for it posted - I'm in the UK.</p>

<p>Hi Arne, sounds good but the motor/gear assembly for the Galaxy is 0.5 rpm (or 1R2M as it says on the back of the motor). Do you happen to have one of those please?</p>

<p>Thanks Andy - I'll keep my eyes open for a replacement motor assembly. I love the gradual transition between colours so don't think the programmable LED is an option for me. I bought this lamp knowing that the colour change wasn't working (so got it for a fair price), but it looked to be in better cosmetic condition to the one I already had.

<p>it's a regular problem with these lamps, I'm sorry to say - and always the gearbox</p>
<p>So these parts are virtually unobtainable now... I believe some skilled and painstaking collectors have managed to repair them themselves, but the usual way round the issue (short term anyway) is to convert to a colour-changing LED</p>

<p>Not quite as subtle as the colour wheel, but at least it's reliable... one thing though - if you do go this route, source a programmable one <strong>with memory</strong></p>
<p>(You may get lucky, the odd complete assembly does come up occasionally)</p>
