NuTone kitchen clock (early 1960s)

Jenny & Steve's 1960s Massachusetts home has this NuTone clock over the kitchen sink. (It is not battery-operated; it's wired into the home's electricity!) Suppose there is information online about repairing something like this? Of course there is!
» “Repairing the Telechron Clock Motor in a NuTone L36 Elite Clock Door Chime” (Nov 24, 2015).
From the video, I learned that this is also where the home's doorbell chimes…

This clock doesn't have the problem addressed by the video. Rather, this clock's problem was that the hour hand always fell to the 6 and the minute hand was "loose." A year ago I pushed the hour hand down on the post and it tracks well now. The minute hand, however, is still a little loose: it slips 2-3 minutes on the right side of the face (the first half of a new hour). The guy who made the video suggested using a drop of thread lock to stick the minute hand to the post, but I'm not taking the clock off the wall, so we'll just to have to live with a couple minutes of inaccuracy. But that's a lot better than a time that was always between 5:30 and 6:30. :)
