To re-start the clock after dis-connecting the battery you do a James has said.... pull the adjuster knob out and then let it flick back, there is a bevelled collar on the other end of the shaft that spins the wheel and the tuning fork then takes over.

OK. Replaced the 3 Capacitors last night. Put it back together and wired it up to a uhf base station transformer........ and the tuning fork now hums away but it wont drive the the gear for some reason. Will try a few more things and see how I go.
That was the problem I found when I changed the PC board from a working clock to a non-working one, the fork hummed but wouldn't keep the clock going..... the only thing I could see that would cause this was either a weak circuit from the old board or the tuning fork is not adjusted properly....
They are frustrating aren't they.... :Chin:
