Telechron "B" "M-1" "M-31" & "M-38" Clock Rotors
My business is rebuilding your original rotor.
The type "B" is the larger rotor which generally turns at the rate
of 1 R.P.M. The "B-2" M-1 is the most difficult rotor to work
on, the M-31's is the original "B-3" and "B-2" M-38 are
extremely hard to find and cost the same to rebuild but $250.00 more than
other "B" rotors for a replacement from my inventory.
The M-1 is the original "B-2" rotor and very rare. These
rotors have a hole center in order for the long shaft second hand to be
inserted.
The M-31 is the highest torque "B" rotor ever build and why it was
used in most electric Grandfather clock and many chiming mantel clocks.
The M-38 was the most replaced "B-2" rotor and extremely rare.
All "B-2" M-1, "B-3" M-31, & "B-2" M-38 rotors
cost $150.00 to rebuild, plus $20.00 priority mail (Canada is $45.00) and
have a 2-year warranty, which brings your total cost to $170.00 assuming
you send the old rotor for rebuilding at time of payment.
Because of the rarity, I must have the exact M-1, M-31, or M-38 rotor
or add $250.00. Here I'd take a used rotor from inventory and
overhaul it for a total of $400.00 plus shipping.
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 checks must be made out to Mike Murray because I gave up my business
checking.
All rotor only service requires prepayment made out to Mike Murray,
unless you don't mind waiting a year.
I no longer offer expedited service.
If you want to send in the clock for motor or rotor replacement,
please be advised that your costs will increase by $205.00 with
everything else staying the same. The increase covers the
increase in return shipping and insurance and includes my labor
charge of $150.00 for the replacement service. I can ship
at that price for clocks up to 22" long ($375.00 total).
B-3 M-31-rotor rebuilding $150.00 (A 2-year warranty)
Labor on movement $150.00 (No warranty because it is cleaned and not overhauled)
Shipping via UPS ground $75.00
Total $375.00
There is usually a saw like 2 blade system in the clock to secure
the chime rods for shipping. Please be sure that is engaged for safe
shipping. If they are gone or not there then I use a piece of small
bulb-ed bubble wrap and fold it over once and then weave it in and
out of the chime rods. A one inch wide strip is all that is needed.
This is easy to remove and prevents the chime rods of rattling during
shipping and breaking. If one or more breaks then that adds $150.00
to install a set of tuned rods which has to be done because replacing
only one or two rods throws the whole tune out of pitch.
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.
I'll not ship the rotor until I received payment. I accept
personal checks, certified checks, or company checks for payment
but repeat customers may use personal checks. Normally shipping
takes place one week or so after I receive payment and thanks! If
you use a personal check then please allow 10 days before shipping
to allow the check to clear.
I have a quick guide for extraction and installation of the "B" rotor.
Click on the Quick guide to the "B"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 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 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.
I do accept checks, Zelle using atmosman@earthlink.net, money orders,
or I can sent a Pay Pal invoice but it will be 4% higher to cover what
they charge me. Checks and Money Orders must be mailed to Mike Murray,
P.O. Box 562, Fossil, OR 97830-0562 but please double check the final
price with me before you send any money however you sent it.
