why does clock quit after a few days with new battery?

This elgin anniversary clock from mid 80's had ran great up untill now. It has been stoping after a couple of days or less. I have replaced the battery many times, but to no avail. The manual for the clock is missing and I don't want to damage the clock by trying to open it up for whatever may need lubrication. Any suggestions would be greatly apprieciated.
