Prepare old clock for new movement

We have an old Westclox desk clock that belonged to my wife's father. She would like it to get working again using the face and hands and case. I can't get the clock down to just these parts. The central shaft on which the hands are attached runs through to the back where the remaining gears, etc. are. I have ruined the old works, but that's OK if I can buy a movement that will make the clock work.

I have pictures of the front and back, but I'm brand new to this forum and don't know how to send them to you. Any help you can give me will be appreciated. Thank you.

about the only thing you could replace the movement with would be on pg28 of the link below. 14558, 14560, 20784.

maybe you could find a replacement clock on ebay that works and replace the guts.
