Rebuilt this clock motor

Got this clock for free and found that the coil was open as the connecting wire had broken from the enameled wire.

It is riveted together so I had to cut one of them to get it apart.  Had to soak the coil assembly in water and IPA so that the paper would come off.

Then I found the end of the coil that had broken.  Unwound a few turns so that I had plenty to work with.

Then I made a bobbin for the coil so that it set firmly in the case.  3D printed.

Now to assemble, I had to drill out the rivet and tap some 440 threads.

It is all assembled and working.  However, I need to make a connector piece to mount some metal tabs so that there is no stress on the enameled wire.  I have some ideas working in my head.
