I know this info has been posted before but I haven't seen it in a while so thought I'd post this fix again. I had a couple of non running small clocks laying around so thought I'd try the capacitor trick. It worked! The hardest part is getting the black ring uncrimped from the clock body. a little prying with a screwdriver from the edge pointing away from the driver did the trick. I haven't tried re-crimping it yet but a cursory examination of the plastic snap-in trim piece tells me that even an ugly recrimp will not be visible from the drivers perspective. There's 2 capacitors in there, 100uf. I had an old broken piece of electronic equipment around that had those values so I removed them and installed them in the clock. It started running and the time was correct after 3 hours. If your clock isn't running and you've got an hour to kill, it's a pretty easy repair.
