First clock movement try...

[bsoderling]

I have always liked the looks of the typical 50 to 60´s kitchen clocks and when I recently stumbled over one dirt cheap, I couldn’t restrain myself.

with no prior expeience from clock movements, only watches, I wanted some advice on how to proceed. 

I suppose the movement is as simple as they come in this area? Any ideas about manufacturer?

The obvious fault found is a broken click. As I’m somewhat hesitant to start ripping the thing apart, my thought was to drill out the rivet and hopefully be able to use a replacement from Cousins (they sell ”assortments” that may do the trick). Rather than riveting, which I suppose will be tough with the movement still assembled, my thought was to simply use a screw and nut to fix the new click. There should be space enough to get a screw in there...

Another thing I noted was that the pallet (correct name?) sits tilted between the top and bottom plates (photo attached). One side of the mounting has wide holes supposedly to allow some adjustment of the locking action. But here it looks like a lot and the marks around the screw heads seem to indicate that there was a previous lower mounting. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

I ended up making a replacement click from a piece of steel plate I had laying around. By no means an identical replica but it does the trick. 
 

used the old rivet and made some indents in the surrounding brass plate to squeeze it tight against the rivet that was really hard and wouldn’t deform with my stakes. 
 

so far the click holds and the movement with its pendulum ticks nicely. Keeps reasonable time and can probably be tuned a bit with the pendulum adjustment screw.
