Signaling Time-O-Lite S49 Repair?

[haohmaru]

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!!

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.
