Thanks! I found it in an "as is" cubby in a shop that I go to semi-regularly. The cord had been cut and I decided to just convert it instead of rewiring because of how broken it was inside.
I removed the former broken and bent clock movement and inserted a battery powered movement from a kitchen clock I already owned. I ended up having to cut down the hour, minute and second hands to fit the old vintage clock but it worked beautifully. I just used the old hands as a template.
Here's a tutorial I found that pretty much explains everything. Except I didn't have to buy a new battery movement and used a clock I already owned. The only difficulty I ran into was getting the old movement out because of all the congealed oil and bent movements. I had to take it slow in order not to damage anything. But once everything was out, it was smooth sailing.
I just woke up, but I'll get you a photo of the inside and back once I get out of bed today.
