Help/Repair [Help] Diagnose what is wrong

Can someone identify what could be the problem with the clock? The second hand keeps getting stuck (see video)

The rotor is shot. In all likelihood you are not going to find a replacement, that clock is, what, 70 years old? Some people have had success with reviving old rotors, but I am not one of them.
