Was it *supposed* to be working, when you purchased
it?    I'd contact the buyer, and tell them that they sent
you a non-working clock.

You can have a replacement movement (even a newer-
type quartz unit) put it, and those movements aren't
expensive.   But I'd leave it to a professional.

You don't want a non-working "decorating" clock, and
you don't want to buy another that doesn't work either.
