Index of Motor and Rotor & Resources by Category:

Virtually every motor and rotor is no longer in production and because of the rarity of these items, all prices are firm and there is no trade discount of any kind.

I don't list or sell any 50 cycle rotors.

All motors, rotors, and coils carry a 2-year warranty.  If failure occurs during the warranty period the item will be replaced for only the return shipping charge and you would be responsible for the initial shipping to Mike's Clock Clinic.

All motors and rotors are one of the following: rebuilt, NOS or used but working. That is the order I look for your replacement.  I cannot guarantee which of the three types you will receive.

Most rebuilt (overhauled) original motors and rotors sell for between $110.00 and $210.00.   The same holds true for a N.O.S. (New Old Stock) which means an old but unused rotor/motor and for used but working.

If you want to send in the clock for motor or rotor replacement, please be advised that shipping will jump from $10.00 to $80.00 with everything else staying the same.   The increase covers return shipping and insurance and includes my labor charge of $50.00 for the replacement.

I cannot guarantee that the motor/rotor replacement will work 100% of the time, simply because the clock movement (mechanism) may need work as well.

Motors are complete units with wires to be connected to an electrical power source.  Rotors are units that require another part, usually a coil, in order to generate the electro magnetic field which all electric "drives" need.  Another way to look at it is that motors can be separately run outside the movement and rotors cannot.

All rebuilt's from whatever source, will have noise.  Rebuilts will be significantly quieter but all will carry some noise.  The only way around this is a "new" innards (movement) inside the shell casing and since all Telechron's are no longer produced, perfectly quiet rebuilt's will not happen from anyone.  Just so you don't get "taken" in by someone else.  This hold true for just about all motors and rotors.

Re-wrapped original coils run $110.00 and this would include a used one as well.  My turn time on newly manufactured is over 6 months because of my only source.

Many past repair people just grabbed any coil that they could get there hands on and for longer life of the clock and rotor, you should seriously consider replacing the coil if your is not the proper wattage.

Please see this link for coil information.   Coil Information

You MUST add $10.00 to each order (Canada is $20.00) to include return shipping by U.S. Priority Mail.   This breaks down to $3.85 mailing charge, $.45 for delivery confirmation, and $3.20 for $200.00 insurance, which makes the package traceable and $1.50 for my time.

Telechron Rotors

All my Telechron rotors are either brass or copper and NOT aluminum.  The exception is the "S" rotor which has always been aluminum.  The aluminum rotors were cheapened versions of the brass or copper rotors.  GE, who always had a stake in Telechron, finally purchased it outright in the 70's and that's when the aluminum rotors appeared.

Rebuilt Telechron Aluminum Rotors

Both the aluminum "B" and "H" rotors can be rebuilt.  The process takes about 2 months and the cost on either is $150.00 plus $10.00 priority mail (Canada is $20.00), which brings your total cost to $160.00.  The "catch" is that the warranty on these rebuilt rotors is 6 months, you must send in your old aluminum rotor, and the order must be pre-paid.  Typically aluminum rotors have a M # of 3300 or higher.  If you do not have a rotor to send, then add $50.00 for a total of $210.00.

I'll not have the rotor rebuilt until I am paid.   A rebuilt aluminum rotor does me little good and that is why this particular transaction must be pre-paid.   Once the rotor and payment are received, I then ship the rotor for rebuilding and generally that takes 4 to 6 weeks.  Once your rotor is back and tested, I ship it on to you with the 6 month warranty.

A Quick Guide for installing the Telechron B Rotors

Installing the Telechron "B" rotor is a fairly straight forward job.  There are two large, usually brass, screws which hold the entire "motor".   The motor consists of the rotor, field, and coil.  The only "catch" is that there is a pinion gear screwed onto the flat portion on the shaft of the rotor.   This must be removed before you can remove the "motor".   Most times the entire movement must be completely removed from the case in order to access this pinion.  Sometimes it is a little tough in locating and loosing this screw because the clock may have stopped with the flat portion of the rotor's shaft facing away from your access point.  You need to loosen this screw and then the pinion will slide off and this can happen when you remove the "motor".

A VERY important note is that the pinion MUST be placed back in the same position and the same orientation on the rebuilt rotor as it was on the dead rotor.   This installation can usually only be done once the rebuilt rotor and the rest of the "motor" is installed in the clock's movement.

There is a brass collar at the point where the shaft protrudes from the rotor.   This collar must be seated into the hole located at the point where the rotor shaft enters the clock movement.   This collar makes sure that rotor is seated properly.

Another area of caution is the coil.  The coil has two very fine wires connecting to the larger wires, which eventually connect to the power source.   These break very easily and please DON'T try to pull the motor away from the movement because this may break the wires on the coil.  And any extra or rough handling of the coil can and will result in wire breakage.   So please handle the "motor" with great care.

Telechron "B" Rotors

The type "B" is the larger rotor which generally turns at the rate of 1 R.P.M.

Most "B" rotors cost $150.00 plus $10.00 priority mail (Canada is $20.00) and have a 2-year warranty, which brings your total cost to $160.00 assuming you send the old rotor at time of payment.  The exceptions are the M-31 & M-38 Rotors.

I must have the old rotor or add $50.00.  Aluminum rotors will NOT qualify as exchange.  Typically aluminum rotors have a M # of 3300 or higher.  My turn time is around two weeks unless you want your specific rotor rebuilt in which case the turn becomes around 2 months.

All rotors I have to sent out for rebuilding much be accompanied with payment in full.

If you want to send in the clock for motor or rotor replacement, please be advised that shipping will jump from $10.00 to $80.00 with everything else staying the same.  The increase covers return shipping and insurance and includes my labor charge of $50.00 for the replacement.

I'll not ship the rotor/motor until I received payment, so in order to expedite the transaction please enclose your payment along with the old rotor/motor.  I ONLY accept money orders, 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 !

Telechron Telechron "B"   "M-31 & M38"   Rotors

The type "B" is the larger rotor which generally turns at the rate of 1 R.P.M.  The M-31's and the M-38's are extremely hard to find and why they cost $50.00 more than other "B" rotors.

All "B" M-31 & M-38 rotors cost $200.00 plus $10.00 priority mail (Canada is $20.00) and have a 2-year warranty, which brings your total cost to $210.00 assuming you send the old rotor at time of payment.

Because of the rarity, I must have the exact M-31 or M-38 rotor or add $100.00.  My turn time is around two weeks unless you want your specific rotor rebuilt in which case the turn becomes around 2 months.

Telechron "B" Rotors Turning @ 60 or 30 R.P.M.'s

The type "B" is the larger rotor.

All 60 & 30 R.P.M. "B" rotors cost $250.00 plus $10.00 priority mail (Canada is $20.00) and have a 2-year warranty, which brings your total cost to $260.00 assuming you send the old rotor at time of payment.  The reason for the price increase is because "B's" turning at 60 & 30 R.P.M.'s are extremely rare.

I must have the old rotor or add $100.00.  Aluminum rotors will NOT qualify as exchange.  Typically aluminum rotors have a M # of 3300 or higher.  My turn time is around two weeks unless you want your specific rotor rebuilt in which case the turn becomes around 2 months.

Note:

With 60 & 30 rpm rotors, I have no way to test it under the correct torque.   They will turn and be relatively quiet but the real test is when you install it.

If it fails or does not keep consistent 60 or 30 rpm's, please send it back immediately and COD is fine and I'll send another within one day after it arrives.

Hopefully, it will not come to that but I just wanted you to know it is possible.

I'll not ship the rotor/motor until I received payment, so in order to expedite the transaction please enclose your payment along with the old rotor/motor.  I ONLY accept money orders, 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 !

A Quick Guide for installing the Telechron S Rotors

Installing the Telechron "S" rotor is a fairly straight forward job.  There are two large, usually brass, screws which hold the entire "motor".   The motor consists of the rotor, field, and coil.  The only catch is that the rotor MUST be placed back in the same position and the same orientation on the NOS rotor as it was on the dead rotor.  So please be sure to mark the position of the old rotor so that you have a reference point because both the running of the clock or timer and position of the rotor depends on the NOS rotor being placed in exactly as the old rotor.

There is a brass collar at the point where the gear protrudes from the rotor.   This collar must be seated into the hole located at the point where the rotor gear enters the clock movement.  This collar makes sure that rotor is seated properly.

Another problem is that the "S" rotor is usually held by the field very tightly.   Sometimes I have to use a flat screwdriver in order to remove the old rotor.   Since the casing of the rotor is made of aluminum, installing can be difficult because your cannot use any type of  pliers to force the rotor into the field because this might damage the NOS rotor.

I generally install the "S" by hand using only finger pressure.  I have not tried this but I suppose you can use a press or large flat surface vise and force the rotor into the field.   Just be sure that you use the minimum force to install the rotor because of potential damage to the rotor.

Telechron "S-1" Rotors

The type "S" is the smaller sized rotor which generally turns at the rate of 3.6 R.P.M.  These are usually used in timers and appliances and NOT clocks.

All "S-1" rotors are exactly the same.   The reason for the different M-#'s was to identify the customer from Telechron's "point of view".   The S-1 has a 10 tooth pinion.

A N.O.S. "S-1" rotor cost $50.00 plus $10.00 priority mail (Canada is $20.00) and has a 2-year warranty, which brings your total cost to $60.00.

If you want to send in the clock for motor or rotor replacement, please be advised that shipping will jump from $10.00 to $80.00 with everything else staying the same.  The increase covers return shipping and insurance and includes my labor charge of $50.00 for the replacement.

My turn time is one week or less.  "S" rotors are never rebuilt and always NOS (New Old Stock), therefore it is not necessary to send me the old rotor because these were always aluminum rotors.

I'll not ship the rotor/motor until I received payment, so in order to expedite the transaction please enclose your payment along with your order.   I ONLY accept money orders, certified checks, or company checks for payment but repeat customers may use personal checks.  Normally shipping takes place two weeks or so after I receive payment and thanks  !

Seth Thomas clocks with Sangamo Motors

.

Sorry NONE AVAILABLE as of 01/04/06

A special note on the Seth Thomas clocks that used Sangamo motors. I have these motors in stock but please be aware that my experience indicates that these clocks ran way pass the "normal" amount of time as compared to other electrics.   Therefore, it is very likely that this clock has bearing plate wear and gear pivot wear because of the unusually long running time.

I mention this because the motor I'll be sending to you will be in great working order but, it may not solve your problem and most likely the movement needs a complete overhaul because of these specific wear problems.

All Sangamo motors cost $150.00 plus $10.00 priority mail (Canada is $20.00) and have a 2-year warranty, which brings your total cost to $160.00 assuming you send the old motor at time of payment.

I must have the old motor or add $50.00 to each option.  Having your specific motor rebuilt my turn time becomes around 4 months.

If you want to send in the clock for motor or rotor replacement, please be advised that shipping will jump from $10.00 to $80.00 with everything else staying the same.  The increase covers return shipping and insurance and includes my labor charge of $50.00 for the replacement.

If a Sangamo motor is purchased and it does not solve your clock's problems there will be $30.00 "restocking" fee, and unless I get the exact motor I sent to you initially, there will be no refund at all.   The motor will be marked for identification purposes.

Sorry for all that but unless the movement is sound on any electric clock, you are wasting both my time and your time.

I also need either an E-mailed picture or the actual motor in order to determine if I can be of service on all these "uncommon motors". All other motors cost $150.00 plus $10.00 priority mail (Canada is $20.00) and have a 2-year warranty, which brings your total cost to $160.00 assuming you send the old motor at time of payment.

Because of very low demand for these motors, I have many of each type but these are old and most likely useless in their current condition.

Upon request and payment, I will send which ever of these you need for overhauling but the turn around time will be about 4 to 5 months.

If you want to send in the clock for motor or rotor replacement, please be advised that shipping will jump from $10.00 to $80.00 with everything else staying the same.  The increase covers return shipping and insurance and includes my labor charge of $50.00 for the replacement.

I must have the old motor or add $50.00 to each option.

I'll not ship the rotor/motor until I received payment, so in order to expedite the transaction please enclose your payment along with the old rotor/motor.  I ONLY accept money orders, 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 !

Coil & Plate Information

Information on Telechron coils is intended as a user guide because many past repair people just grabbed any coil that they could get there hands on and for longer life of the clock and rotor, you should seriously consider replacing the coil if your is not the proper wattage.

The "plate" over the back of the rotor has all the information you need. This plate cover contains the following information:
the "type" of rotor needed the volts (V) the current in cycles (CY)
the Model # [either the clock or the movement, not sure] (MOV) the RPM's of the rotor (RPM) the wattage required (W)

All coils cost $100.00 plus the $10.00 shipping (Canada is $20.00), 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 coil replacement, please be advised that shipping will jump from $10.00 to $80.00 with everything else staying the same.  The increase covers return shipping and insurance and includes my labor charge of $50.00 for the replacement.

You should realize that a Telechron coil will effectively replace the Hammond coil, if the need should arise, with the same wattage considerations.

Telechron "H" Rotors 1/2 price special on Aluminum New Old Stock (never used) "H's"

I have a limited supply of NOS (new old stock) aluminum "H's".   I'm letting these go for 1/2 price because they are a pale comparison to their predecessors.   They should give anywhere from 5 to 20 years of reliable service but there is no warranty at all.   I'll exchange any defective aluminum rotors for 90 days after purchase.  The "H" rotors are $60.00 each including shipping.

Here's what I have in aluminum NOS.

  "H"   M-3632
        5  (In stock)

What if the clock needs more service?

Sometimes the electric clock needs to be overhauled even thought all the electrical parts are replaced.

Electric clocks and especially chiming electrics, will wear out and rebuilt rotor or not they will not run or run accurately.   One quick check it to grab the center of the minute hand with your fingers and see if it wobbles.  Meaning that there should be a very slight amount of "up, down, or side to side" play.  If the "play" is greater than a mm or so then there is a good chance the movement will have to be rebuilt in order for the clock to run properly.

If that's the case then please see:
