I've got one of these hanging around for at least a dozen years to refurbish (the backside of these is a white paint that gets a bit like your original fan). I'm thinking a quartz movement so I can use it anywhere but haven't been able to bring myself to take it apart.
What make is that clock? General Electric? I can't quite make it out. I'd hesitate messing with it if it runs quietly and is in good shape. Is that your actual clock or a photo of the same type?

I'd look into a battery conversion, too. Get rid of that ugly yellow wire. Unless it has some "real" value.

I'm ashamed to admit that I auctioned off probably ten fans like that. To scrappers. From my father in law's house in Mansfield, Ohio.
