My wife has always loved the flip clocks from back when we were kids and she had me buy one. Unfortunately it's not a full on flip clock like she wanted, but she picked it out. I bought it knowing full well that I was going to have to repair it because the listing was "As Is". The motor is seized up. whenever you try to move the gear on the motor shaft (Which is offset from the body) it clicks. The "heat sinks" for lack of a better term get really hot.
What I've discovered so far. It is an AC motor. Voltage does get to it. It "hums" and gets hot. I'm thinking the motor needs replaced, but without a nudge in the right direction as where to find a replacement, I'm lost.
All I know about the unit is that it's an old GE from the late 70's? The labels on the bottom have been ripped off, and I can't discern any other identifying marks on the outside to indicate what model it is. On the motor, there's no stickers. Everything is stamped into the aluminum body. It's sealed with epoxy.
From top to bottom:
"GE of USA"
"S1
3.6"
"HNK
RPM"
"TOP
60-C"
"M3633
8117"
