I have found that after a couple of applications of the clock oil and it's not a mechanical issue, some come back to life.

Thank You for your post. I ordered Horace Whitlock's Clock Oil from Amazon for $18 came with the needle applicators. I Removed the clock and oiled the gears. It's Back to ticking and keeping accurate time...
