I have had this for almost 50 years and the clock does not work, for some unknown reason, and the chimes are weak sounding and miss at times. I need help. Can this be repaired?

Have you ever heard of a response on the Rittenhouse 631/632. I too am refurbishing one and need to know the correct tranformer voltage needed and a wiring diagram surely would help. Any insight?
