I can convert any "B-3" Telechron rotor into a 60 RPM rotor using a rotor from my stock.
I can use an old "B-3" Telechron rotor and switch it to a 60 RPM and transfer the shaft from your old rotor to the newly refurbished rotor. These rotor are made with nickel shells and copper plates, which should last about 3 to 5 times longer than the fiber plates in the aluminum rotors. All external dimensions are identical. All aluminum "B" rotors are replacement rotors. Meaning that they were manufactured after your clock was made in order to save production costs on replacements. This would cost $300.00 per unit plus $20.00 priority mail (Canada is $45.00) because I'd have to cut an old rotor open and clean it up and then switch the gears and then cut your old rotor open in order to transfer your output shaft over to the former 1 RPM rotor. My turnaround is 6 to 8 weeks for motor service, 8 to 12 months if the clock is sent with the motor, or if the movement is overhauled. All rotor only service requires prepayment made out to Mike Murray, unless you don't mind waiting a year. All checks must be made out to Mike Murray because I gave up my business checking. I no longer offer expedited service. These would still be stamped with the original information and I would hand scribe that it is now a 60 RPM rotor and should be stored with some type of explanation, so that any future person would not assume these were 1 RPM rotors.
If you have your old 60 RPM rotor, I can rebuild that for $170.00, which includes return shipping and the same 2-year warranty. This takes 4 to 6 weeks and requires payment is send with the rotor. Please see: Rebuilding a 60 RPM rotor.
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.
All checks must be made out to Mike Murray because I gave up my business checking. I would like payment by, 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 4%. The 4% 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 4% will be added to your total bill. All of the added fees are exactly what either service charges me for taking your credit card.
