I know zero about clocks so was relieved when the Hammond mechanism just needed a good clean and new wiring. Yes, it is clearly marked made in USA, but also 240/50 so obviously made for UK. Radio chassis is also marked made in USA, but has a transformer so no horrid line cord dropper.

Many of the Hammond clocks, didn't survive here either, as they weren't self-starting. You had to spin the start knob to get it into sync.
Great job of restoration! I looked over all the pictures and can't see the speaker location. Most radios that used the 12A7 valve used a high impedence magnetic speaker. I was never fond of them, as they had a tinny sound.
