Update: I got a reply back from the guy at the Telechron website and he said that while the rotor used in this clock is a Telechron Liscensed product its gearing inside is different enough from an actual Telechron Rotor that he couldn't rebuild it because the tooling he has is specifically for Telechron Rotors which have just enough of a difference between them and the rotors that were made by Omron for Sony using Telechron's Patent Liscense that he can't use his equipment to rebuild the Omron units.

I did find another Alarm Clock like this unit on feebay, that has the same issue (with the dead clock mechanism) that I'm going to try and see if I can attempt to free up the motor on that one using a little bit different method than I did before and see if I can avoid screwing up the gears inside like I did on the original one, and just use the other one for parts, such as the clock mechanism or the Blacklight assembly or even the light for the alarm readout, etc.
