My 1000H says 12v, 3A, but wouldn't run properly from any 12v source I 
tried except the original power pack.

It was a couple of years ago, but whatever voltage my son's 700 series 
said on it was what I tried (within 1v, from a regulated supply). 
Likewise, same result.

Only a low power inverter is required.  My 150W inverter is several 
times the required capacity.
