    Glo Dial Flush Mount Neon Clock

    I am restoring a flush mount glo dial neon clock. A photo is enclosed. The clock has some positive points...chrome is great (under the paint and dirt which are now gone), the inner neon ring is intact, and the clock parts are all there and in good shape. I am having the dial restored, and am...

    Telechron Hammond vs Telechron Coils

    Well, I wimped out on this and bought a parts clock for a good coil. Clock arrived, put the new-old coil in, and life is good. At some point though I plan to try this experiment!

    PALLET JEWELS FOR AMERICAN ELECTRIC CLOCK CO VERGE.

    Well...maybe. It depends on the jewel size you are looking for, and if this is a visible pallet. I am not familiar with the clock. However, Timesavers has round visible pallet jewels for sale in a variety of sizes. Check the catalog. Good luck!

    Telechron Hammond vs Telechron Coils

    I am working on the first Hammond clock I have ever worked on...and wouldn't you know, the coil is bad. I can go on line and buy a scrap Hammond clock, but I already have a number of Telechron coils that are good. I have a 60 and a 65 coil. Now, looking at them, they look about the same size...

    Any Idea What This Is? Is It a Clock?

    I am going to SPECULATE here, since there are few responses. This looks to me like a master clock based on some kind of countdown system. This might have been useful in a school based on start times that fluctuated? There appears to be something in the mechanism under the dial and movement...

    American New Haven Spin Start Clock

    I am having some trouble having to clean and oil a New Haven electric spin start clock every 3 years or so. I think it may be that I have been putting oil on the small thin rod that the rotor spins on. Could someone who knows these clocks give me an opinion on whether the rotor rod should be...

    Westclox Big Ben Dialite Question

    Chris, Thanks a million. I checked on-line and as you stated it IS a neon bulb...and they are easily and cheaply available. I have ordered the bulb and resistor, and am now waiting to install the new ones. I'm an electric clock newbie, and had never even heard of a neon light bulb. Thanks...

    Westclox Big Ben Dialite Question

    This clock has sentimental value for a customer...I know it is not a hot collectible, but for her it is important. The problem is that the light bulb is failing. This model (Dialite) had...go figure...a lighted dial! I have provided a photo of the current bulb. It seems to me this is a later...

    PAM Clock Motor

    I have a PAM clock that had an Ingraham motor in it. I assumed the motor was beyond help, and replaced it with a new Synchron motor and movement, which works fine. However, upon further investigation I found the Ingraham motor still works. The clock was in a Butcher shop for years and the...

    Telechron Telechron 50 Cycle Clock

    Jim, This was a California clock. California used to run on 50 cycles before the power from Hoover Dam became available...there is a section somewhere on line about this. So...the coil was fine. It all came down to a problem inside of a rotor I had rebuilt...I just had missed the center...

    Telechron Telechron 50 Cycle Clock

    David, After taking a deep breath, I looked over this rotor again. Surprisingly, the center shaft was slightly out of round, and was binding. I replaced it with a center shaft from a parts rotor and voila...working rotor. I still have some bushing to do, as the rotor is still noisy, but that...

    Telechron Telechron 50 Cycle Clock

    Harold, Turns out that I was the problem!!! I have had a devil of a time rebuilding this rotor, and something inside the rotor is binding, or the 10 tooth drive gear is slipping. I have a good rotor in the clock now, and everything is working fine. I will pull the miscreant rotor apart later...

    Telechron Telechron 50 Cycle Clock

    David, Thanks for responding. It is a standard 3.6 rpm motor, M1313. The sweep is very SLOW compared to my shop clock...probably about a consistent 5 seconds per minute.

    Telechron Telechron 50 Cycle Clock

    Help out an electrical neophyte here. I (foolishly) bought a clock on ebay that turned out to have a 50 cycle "red" tag from Telechron on the back. The clock was from California where they kept 50 cycle power until 1948. Now someone had replaced the rotor in 1948 (marked on the inside of the...

    Wiring Question for Modern Clock Co Radio Ad Clock

    THT, First of all...thank you. This definitely answered my question. I'll post some photos...but this is the ORIGINAL wiring of the clock. According to the clock motor, this is April 1958! Consequently, the color coding is...well...pretty much non-existant. I have a new ballast to replace the...

    Age of my Vintage General Electric Desk Clock

    Ryan, Check out the Telechron web page frequented and run by Pappy. He knows more about Telechron and GE clocks than anyone I know. There is also a Telechron/GE Forum which is great for posting questions specific to these clocks. If no one here can answer your question, I'm betting a post to...
