La Crosse Atomic Clock Pendulum Only Drive

I'm trying to locate a replacement part for a La Crosse Atomic Clock Pendulum only drive. I searched the Internet but haven't found one. Can someone suggest a source to buy a replacement?

I see it is difficult to find an exact replacement model for battery operated clock parts. I was able to Super Glue a small metal picture tack across the broken bob hanger and was able to get it to work, I wondering were to find the battery operated atomic clock replacement parts for this clock case geometry.

I bought a neat little battery operated clock at a thrift store for $4 which plays different bird songs each hour. It has an photo electric eye to play the hourly song when it becomes dark. It might be fun to find other novelty quartz movements like the bid songs for other clock projects. I'm prefer the atomic moments and I'm surprised I didn't find more selection or novelty type movements. Maybbe I'm just not looking in the right place.
