Scott,

No, from a practical standpoint the fixed offset system will
not benefit you today. From a collectors perspective, its a
cool link to the days before leap seconds were adopted.

It should be possible to remove the motor parts and have
the hp 117A look and work like a normal one.

Combining with a 105B is fine. An Austron 2010B is also
a possibility, since it does smoothing and drift removal.
