I hooked up the clock and it works

Yes, there is a pin I can easily remove, but the hands are really stubborn. I think I'll leave it alone for now.

I started cleaning out the speaker and found the chunk of plaster responsible for that big hole
I think you're right about being able to salvage it though.
I'm hoping that the missing piece of cone paper may still be inside the radio somewhere or even in my car. I'll do some hunting.
Do you think I should put a little leather conditioner on that leather surround? It's fairly dried out and stiff.
I recorded a
little YouTube video of the clock and damaged speaker in more detail.
