Most coils cost $150.00 plus the $20.00 shipping (Canada is $45.00), if that
is all you order, otherwise the same shipping package can be used if you order the
motor/rotor at the same time, so no additional shipping costs are necessary.
If you want to send in the clock for motor or rotor replacement, please be advised that
your costs will increase by $150.00 with everything else staying the same. The increase
covers the increase in return shipping and insurance and includes my labor charge of $100.00
for the replacement service. I can ship at that price for clocks up to 22″ long ($300.00 total).
Sending the clock for coil replacement breaks down as follows:
Replacement coil $150.00
Labor $100.00
Return shipping and insurance $50.00 or $75.00 if longer than 22″
Total $300.00
All checks must be made out to Mike Murray because I gave up my business checking.
Any coil of the same wattage will work but the inside diameter is slightly
different for each and the tightest fitting coil will give the best results.
What I'm saying is that if you need a coil and the coil # is not legible then
you should send the field and old coil and I'll find the best fitting good coil
and return same. The cost is the same $150.00 plus shipping.
To insure a tight fit, all Telechron coils are mounted on the field with a
bent piece of mainspring steel between the inside of the coil and the field.
This keeps the coil in place and dramatically cuts down on vibrations.
Please be sure to reuse this piece if you install the coil yourself.
If you don't know the coil #, which is on the outer cover but does wear off, then
please tell me the application. What that means is if you give me the rotor
style "H-3", "B-2", "B-3", "B-13" or whatever it is, I should be able to give you
a coil the will fit and work. If you have the rectangular rotor label that is screwed
to the outer part of the field, then that will have the wattage on it which will help.
For the best possible fit, it would behoove you to send the old field so that
I can choose the right coil. Coils come in many different inside diameters and
the tightest fitting works the best and reduces noise. I can also solder on a lamp
cord of whatever length you need. This cord will connect to the "black box" on
some and directly to the power source on others.
I ONLY sell 2 and 4 watt coils. This will fit about 99% of the Telechron,
Revere, and Herschede applications. I do not sell Hammond coils but have them for
use in a service situation where I do the work.
The 6 watt # 37 coil is extremely rare and only available with the purchase
of a complete 60 RPM motor.
One thing you can do before you send in the motor (coil, field, & rotor) is to take
a Multimeter or Volt/Ohm meter, these are less than $20.00 at any hardware store, and
with no current on the clock, set the meter to Ohms and touch the two leads to the end
of the wires or the posts on the coil where the wires connect and see if you get a reading.
Just about any reading is a good one. But if you get no reading what-so-ever
then the motor's coil is dead and you'll need a replacement coil.

All checks must be made out to Mike Murray because I gave up my business checking.
I would like payment by money order, certified check, personal check,
business check, or through Pay Pal or Square, which is the only way I take
credit cards. I do prefer a check over Pay Pal or Square because Pay Pal and
Square take 3%.
The 3% is added to the total bill if you use a credit card.
With either Pay Pal or Square, I will send an invoice to your E-mail
address. Here you are dealing directly with either service and not me.
You do not have to be a member of Pay Pal or Square in order to issue a payment but
the 3% will be added to your total bill.
All of the added fees are exactly what either service charges me for taking your
credit card.
You should realize that a Telechron coil will effectively replace the Hammond
coil, if the need should arise, with the same wattage considerations.
Some have indicated to me a fear of the clock shorting out or becoming a fire hazard.
If that's the case then purchase a power strip and only plug the clock into it.
This way you have a fuse to stop an overload before it feeds back into your household
or office wiring. Honestly, I have never heard of an electric clock causing a fire
but putting in a power strip may ease some fears.
For return shipping I use USPS for all shipping. If you want
to use another carrier then you will have to arrange everything for shipping,
meaning I hand the box to the driver, get a receipt and nothing else.
