I'd replace the aluminum fuses with copper (available anywhere, on eBay for example); also, I'd consider that the battery may be shot after being abused by a bad alternator. If it's been chronically undercharged ,or overcharged only for a short time, it will never be the same. Only a true current load test can adequately test a bad battery.

PS: There may be more than one problem going on here. The clock ought to be able to run on just about any voltage (I tested one with a 9V battery, it worked fine). The clock may be on the way out, but it's repairable. Search the site.
