As for your clock issue, I had mine ('80 Datsun King Cab, OEM) sent to a watch maker in the big city and from what he described was some very basic cleaning and lubricating technics. Old clocks sit for a long time (no pun intended) collecting all kinds of dust particles and what not. So, save a few dollars and use a low pressure dust removal tool ( compressed air in a can?) or a regulated ( air controlled type) with a common style compressor and some light machine oil, used sparingly. Should free up the gears and motor controls. If required, let oil penetrate seized areas by simply being patient and wait a day or to between applications. Spin clocks hands to ensure free movement with finger dial and wait. That's it! Unless motor is completely seized then this method should work.
