Re: Mains powered clock
"and also mentions salvaging a MSF receiver from suitable radio controlled clocks,"
My big Maplin MSF digital clocks have the receiver module separated from the main motherboard. It looks similar to the "Universal Solder" one with a long ferrite rod aerial. The clock runs off one AA battery - but I suspect the receiver module is a standard one capable of working up to 5 volts. The clock itself keeps very good time so synchronisation is rarely noticed.
I have a small MSF clock that soon runs slow during the day. Unfortunately it has the MSF function integrated into a compact smd components board. Not a source of anything apart from the ferrite aerial which is of the much shorter variety - as are the Galleon ones judging by the picture.
