That metal cylinder is part of the motor, you might be able to find a replacement one that is newer or NOS. That part is sealed and will break if you take it apart, I tried once. Is it a Telechron movement or another brand? I have several with the Telechron and they are quiet. The '63 Admiral by my bed has been faithful to me now since '97. I might have some motors laying around, if you post a pic I'll look around for one. Most radios use Telechron I've noticed.
