Groundhog, that is a very nice looking radio. As for the clock mechanism, I'm not anal about "original". What is in there will keep better time and be more reliable. Replacing it with another A/C drive clock motor from a later era, well, it is not original either. What is in there is just fine unless you have people that come over to your house and want to look behind your radios and judge them. I don't have those kind of friends. It would be nice if it had the original motor but for keeping time that will work great.
