Quick fix for old watches is to take the back casing off and dangle it over a cup of petrol or petrol based lighter fluid for a day or two. The vapours clean the kak out of it. Might be worth a go.
It sounds to me like the weather is getting at it if it's only just started happening.

Orrrrr,
Dunk it in diet cola for a couple of days. Then rinse thoroughly, and leave to dry above a radiator for a couple of days. If it's rust or clag causing the problem, this should sort it.

I don't think a leccie clock from Rover would appreciate being treated so wuffly. Might work for clockwork timepieces, but I don't reckon it would for Matilda's....

I think the idea is you push the button untill the clock goes all the way round. Bit long winded but you get there in the end
