Telechron "H" Clock Rotors Turning @ 14.4 R.P.M.'s (M-3218) & (M-3473)
All checks must be made out to Mike Murray because I gave up my business checking. My business is rebuilding your original rotor. The type "H" is the standard sized rotor. All 14.4 R.P.M. "H" rotors cost $150.00 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 at time of payment. The reason for the price increase is because "H's" turning at 14.4 R.P.M.'s are extremely rare. I must have the old rotor or add $150.00. Aluminum rotors will NOT qualify as an exchange for their copper and nickel counterparts. Typically aluminum rotors have a M # of 3300 or higher. My turnaround is 4 to 6 weeks for motor service, 8 to 12 months if the clock is sent with the motor, or if the movement is overhauled. 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 $180.00 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 ($350.00 total). Overhaul Telechron "H " clock rotor $150.00 (A 2-year warranty) Labor and cleaning of movement $150.00 (No warranty because it is cleaned and not overhauled) Return shipping and handling $50.00 Total $350.00 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.
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%. I only take credit cards if you are in the USA or Canada. 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.
