Determine Intermatic Timer Model and Replacement Parts

Trying to determine what model number my Intermatic timer is. As you can see from the photos the diagram is too faded to tell. Additionally, I want to know if I need to replace the entire thing, or if I can get away with just some parts. The motor will run, but will fail to trigger the trippers/dogs. The trippers aren't bent or damaged. Lately, the timer has been intermittent on whether it actually runs or not, but most of the time it just runs to the tripper and stops. I do see the gears of the motor moving, but am unsure whether the issue is motor weakness (I know the motor has plastic gears), or if it's the metal gears of the dial that's the issue. I believe I'm on 240v as well.

You're only using one pole, so you can use a SPST mechanism.

You can get the whole timer so that you have the box if you need it.

Just pull out the mechanism and keep the box in case you ever need it.

The mechanism is pretty simple to replace.

There are several videos on YouTube that show How-To.

If you push up on this clip, the mechanism pops right out.

Appreciate the info. If you look at my second picture I had already removed it to show the motor. Besides trying to figure out which model I have I was just curious if it was worth trying to replace just the clock motor (WG1570-4). When searching about my issue here I was reading that sometimes the motor will wear out since it has plastic gears and become too weak to push the tripper.
 
It could be worthwhile changing the mechanical timer with a digital timer. Just a thought.
