Might it be easier to simply replace the guts with a battery quartz
movement? Unless rare and expensive - if such a synchronous clock exists.

Or throw the whole thing away and replace it with a radio controlled
one?


That could rather go against the spirit of the owners, especially if -
as I thought probable - the clock is at MOTAT.
