Another area where we have received additional training is the repair of the Telechron Rotor. Telechron rotors were developed by Mr. Henry Warren. Much has been written about Mr. Warren and his many inventions. His one invention that has impacted us all was the invention of the synchronous clock motor. We all have or have had an electric clock in our homes. Mr. Warren and his motor were responsible for the reliability of these electric clocks. Unfortunately Telechron stopped producing rotors (the geared part of the motor) in the mid 1990’s.
All Good Time Clock Service has become an heir to Mr. Warren’s genius. In 2003 we began to study under master rotor rebuilder Mr. Tom Wining. Tom has been rebuilding rotors for more than 20 years. In the fall of 2005 Tom acquired all of the records and equipment related to the manufacture of the Telechron rotor. We have used this information to develop repair techniques that can bring the old, worn out rotor that powers your Telechron, GE or Revere clock back to life.
Many
repair shops may drill a hole in your rotor and fill it with oil to
see if it can be made to work. This technique may work for a short period
of time but will surely not bring the rotor back to the power it formerly
had, it may not make the rotor run quietly, and it will not last. The
right way to restore this rotor is to remove its movement from its case,
take it completely apart and rebuild it. This is the process we follow
holding to the Telechron specs of 0.0002 of an inch. Your rotor will
operate as quiet as the day it was new with power to spare. |
