I have this very old Penn Drake Clock - it's a mechanical clock with alarm. I am a novice clock/watch repair guy but I cannot get the clock to stay running.
Has anyone ever seen a clock like this one ?

I'm no clock expert, but this looks like a windup clock that needs to be wound regularly to stay running. One of the knobs with flaps is wound to power the alarm and the other is wound to power the clock. It may need to be cleaned and lightly lubricated to run properly.

Awesome clock. Love the PENN DRAKE OIL letters in the number spots.

I did dismantle and clean and lubricate but the clock but it won't stay running more than 15 minutes - I believe there's an issue with the clutch on the minute hand but just can't figure it out
