Double-sided 17-inch dial Telechron with 24v coils

[Tod]

Hi All: This baby came in the mail yesterday. I want to be able to plug it into the wall. From what I’ve read here, mostly in reference to 24v coils in Nu-Tone chime mechanisms, I need to find 120v coils for B-2 rotors to replace these. Anything else I should be aware of or consider? For those familiar with household battery conversions of self-winding clocks, would that work here with 24v coils? Thanks for any advice. Tod

I can supply 120 VAC B-2 coils. Just send me a PM. Those look like very old B-2 rotors and they're probably well past their useful life. They should be rebuilt if you plan to run the clock.

this is a very early telechron - I've not seen this movement before.

If it wants 24v 60Hz you can get that very easily by just adding a 24v transformer.
