Thanks Guys.

There are no stops for the needles, so would just need to ensure they go back on in the same place.

It's a little daunting as the stepper motors behind are just plastic and clipped to the PCB as well as the soldered legs. so I might be pushing my luck pulling them off.

I'm really interested to hear if anyone else has had this issue, as having taken them apart there is no sign of water ingress, and they are of course well protected behind the screen and front panel.

Spuggy, your Autotronics link looks very interesting, as they actually have the 1000SS clocks listed.
Think I'll call them.
