Thanks Jason
Unfortunately it didn't come with a lead. I have a couple of leads with a
middle plastic pin but no motors to go with them and I have an old black
motor but with no lead so I'm a bit stuffed for testing it. I guess it's
4.5v even though it says 4v on it though. If anyone has an old two pin
electric lead could they bring it to TVLF (especially if they're willing to
sell it to me!)
