It's not big, but I thought I may as well have a look see what was inside and I found some weird stuff. There was a sort of glue, or something, brown, gunky and disintegrating, that was on some components. Whatever it was, it looked like melted insects!! Sadly I lost my photo of the insides (Not entirely sure how!!) but managed to clean it all off and then found a dead CR2032 on the back, so removed that too:

It was held down by more 'melted insect glue' and was a bit corroded. So gone for now, but I may look to fit a more standard battery folder later on.
I also found the power socket loose as well, so reflowed it and lo and behold, it works again!!

I need to find a proper PSU for it, but it'll make a nice clock for my workbench area once it's finished and has had a clean up
