Alright, looks like the culprit is the wheel cylinders. Emptied the rear drum tank no problem, front one drained a bit but even with the bleeder fully off, nothing ever came out.

I still have some new ones from 2020's adventures, but how these spontaniously failed from sitting in the space of a week i have no idea. I still gotta do the parking brake cables so i guess i'm going to the 4 wheel drum brake jamboree tomorrow.

While digging for them I found a NOS clock in the pile. I'm sure it probably works maybe.

Thanks grandpa.

There are quartz conversion kits for the clocks. I have converted 3 clocks of this period. Let me know if you need the source and I’ll dig it up.

Quartz Conversions from Instrument Services (look them up) and they're available on eBay

Easy-peasy, do it and forget about it.
