the alarms on these were magnetic. caused by the motor. and the metal prongs alongside it. when the far right wheel was set and switch was in the on position it connected the circuit to make a humming sound.

actually its 3 tens

i have a very similar clock to urs, and the motor on mine is 120vac.

I have a badly yellowed analog (I guess the one in the video is analog too but...) and it never occurred to me to paint it so it was no longer the terrible yellow colour it's become.
I guess now I just have to chose a colour ;)

If you have some plastic tweezers, you could pluck the wire end back out and solder it on the terminal. I've worked on a ton of these. While they are fun, even on cold days I sweat.
@vwestlife is correct. It has an alarm. Since I have to watch low quality video on this end due to low bandwidth, I can't really see much. It's there.

You could do something without re-do the coil ! Just use DC power supply to supply the motor direcly (i think it's 5V DC motor in there ? that why their is a coil mutch like a transformer for 110 to 5 ? But i didn't see any bridge rectifier to have DC power ... what was this coil for ??? At least you can re do it, without damaging factory adjustements

@oldmac6 The coil is part of the single-pole motor that drives the clock.

The wheel on the side is for setting the alarm, and the switch on the back turns the alarm on or off. Some of the fancier models even had a mechanical "snooze" button on top.

@vwestlife But that's the thing... this clock has no alarm sounding unit at all (nor is there a place for/ signs of/ one ever being installed)

@ComputerNut277 And it really was. GE didn't make the drive unit though, Telechron of Japan did.
