Hi everyone, I have an Industrial Timer Corp Signaling Time-O-Lite S49 that needs some TLC.

It turns on and you can hear the "ticking" but the hand never moves. Does anyone have any experience in repairing these?
I would also like to clean it up and make it presentable. I've upload a couple pics.

Thanks!!

check the side of the knob just below the larger portion. There may be a set screw hiding there.

Theres also a clutch inside with rubber pads to grip the plate. Rubber may be dried out, might be possible to rig something up that fits. Best way to see if thats the problem is take the cover off and watch it after turning it on and see what moves and what doesnt.

Also.... those are minutes not seconds. Are you sure it’s not moving?

Oh the synchronous motor has a viewport on the back. Is it moving? I had to clean one of those (different kind of clock but similar motor) up a few weeks ago, mine wasn’t
