1975 RCA 5" b&w tv - am/fm clock radio

The radio works great, the tv just has vertical shrink (and a really dirty horiz hold control). The major problems this unit has are with the clock:

1. First many of those little flip-numbers were pushed out of position - I got them all straightened out and back where they should be. Except I'm missing 3 of them on the hour wheel (6s and 5s).

2. I see how the hour wheel is turned by the outer shaft, it appears the minute wheel should be turned by the inner shaft, but there is nothing to secure it to the shaft, it just floats freely on there. Am I missing a piece?

3. Notice the little metal piece that is sitting inbetween the two wheels on my desk in the pic. It does sit on the shaft inbetween the hour wheel and the minute wheel. It was all bent up, and I'm not sure what it does or if I even bent it back to the correct shape.

4. The motor is completely dead (it's visible in the 2nd pic), it's not one of those telechron units I usually see, any chance I'll even be able to find one of these?
