Typically this is caused by the bearings in the synchronous AC motor
wearing out.  Some suppliers stock the replacement motors.

However, if you are running a kilowatt of lighting, you are spending $100s
per year on power controlled by this thing, and it would be worth it to buy
something more precise in timing versus sunset.  An hour a day will save
you $50 per year.  The Intermatic Web site will help you.
