The telechron H3 rotor has been relubricated and reinstalled and seems to be working fine. I did wind up using the drill method similar to that seen in this (and many other) YouTube video. I also rinsed out the rotor with some lacquer thinner (seen in one of the other videos) which seemed to do a better job than the liquid wrench. After a day of draining I used the Liberty clock oil rather than 3 in 1 oil and sealed all up as seen in the video. Complete disassembly of the gear train would require drilling out some of the posts that hold the two main plates together so I cleaned as much of the old oil and grease out of the gear pivots as I could and put a small amount of the clock oil on each pivot. It turns out the alarm bell and auto-on for the radio both work OK. They were misaligned however, i.e. the alarm and radio would come on but at the incorrect time. This is corrected simply by repositioning the hour and minute hands to the correct position. Still need to clean up the cabinet and do an alignment check although it sounded pretty good this afternoon when I was checking things out after putting the clock back together.
