Also note the following. There is no motor in the clock. The clock will consume power only intermittently. ( so infinite resistance is normal.) When working normally it does not keep time very well. If what you want is an accurate clock I would convert it to a quartz movement. The mechanism is similar to a wind up clock. The clock will rewind itself every few minutes. As the clock winds down, a connection inside is closed and the clock rewinds itself. It is only during this time that it draws power. Clean lube and inspect the contacts.
