Hi from NJ. I picked up a flip clock from a flea market, restored it, and got it running. Unfortunately, it lasts for about 45 minutes then stops flipping, but the motor continues to run. Also it does not stop on a specific tile, after a certain amount of time it just stops flipping. I accidentally removed the knobs behind the motor that were probably riveted in, but was able to insert them back and the motor still runs. The motor is noticeably wobbly, but it does consistently run at a good speed with no apparent noises. Would this be the reason for the clock to stop working or would it be worth it to continue to try to clean and lubricate the motor to try to keep it going. Any suggestions of other places I should be looking are appreciated. Thanks in advance.
