I also have a decades old SkyScan WWVB LCD wall clock which has survived a few
sets of leaking AA batteries :).

It’s possible the problem is interference EMF, RF etc. Try

Often times it’s the lowest denominator, unless you can do

In a search on eBay for that Astec p/n seems the power supplies made in Hong
