Lightbulb Clock

I recently removed the large clock from my gauge cluster in favor of a tachometer and a small clock near the radio. Now, I have no use for the large clock but I had an idea. I am fairly handy and have done a good amount of woodworking in the past and thought it would be cool to turn the clock into more of a bedside table clock... I was wondering if anyone knows how much power goes to the clock and what would be the easiest way to power it? (9-volt battery, wall plug, etc.)

Well, clock takes 12V so you need to power it with a battery or reduce the house 120V to 12V.

And rectify it to get 12 VDC.
