I understand that. I own a lot of vintage radio and test equipment (mainly from the 1950s and early 60s) and usually try to restore them sympathetically back to their original condition. This case is a little different for me. You will find hundreds of clocks like this one at American "garage sales" but this one has sentimental significance as my "shack clock". It needs to work, not generate RFI, and look the same as the original. The option of installing a battery movement makes sense for me. I could go on trying to eliminate the RFI, but *any* RFI is bad news inside a ham shack so the battery solution is a good one.
Edited to add: It will be functionally almost identical to the original ... it's not as if I'm turning it into a cocktail cabinet.

I thought so, but thank you for confirming it!
