Got a double bubble clock. Why would the second hand rotate but not the other hands?
Just wondering if I need to be looking into a new motor.
Thanks!

if the second hand moves then the motor is turning.  I would try the simplest thing first, try to push the hour and minutes hands onto the rod, they may just be loose or off

Well, duh! I never thought of that because I am afraid to take it apart since it is pretty
valuable to me.
Thanks. I'll let you know.
