Usually radios of that vintage would fail because of a faulty vibrator (looks like a metal capacitor) or the 0Z4 (black metal tube) which is either a rectifier or voltage regulator. I would replace the 0Z4 first. Can’t help you with the clock but there are instrument repair shops that keep the original look but modernize the innerds. Good luck!
