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 free but you would be responsible for the shipping costs to Mike's Clock Clinic.
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. Labor adds $50.00 and return shipping adds $30.00, and I can ship at that price for clocks up to 22" long.
I cannot guarantee that the motor/rotor replacement will fix you clock's problem 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 some noise. Rebuilt's will be significantly quieter but all will carry some noise.
Drilling holes was often done by the amateur in order to extend the life of the rotor. These holes were used in order to add oil to the rotor and at one time oil may have helped but that does nothing for accumulated dirt and old coagulated oil and nothing for plate and wheel wear.
I use synthetic grease and synthetic oil so in theory there should never be a need for more oil.
Original coils run $110.00 and this includes shipping. I no longer have a source for newly manufactured coils, so when my stock is gone it is gone.
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 yours 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.
With the M #, I'll be able to identify the exact rotor and give you a more precise turn around time but I'm usually 2 weeks or less.
The "H" rotor is far too fragile for rebuilding and I substitute a copper and nickel "H" rotor at no additional cost ($100.00).
The one disadvantage of an aluminum cased rotor is that Telechron used fiber board plates and then coated them (dipped) in phenolic resin whereas the pre-aluminum rotors used copper plates. Three of the seven wheels, in the "B" rotor, are also phenolic resin and that material was used to reduce noise of the wheels meshing but actually the plates used increased the overall noise of the rotor. Phenolic plates will never last as long as copper and the material was used to reduce overall production costs but should last for years. It is because of these plates that the noise level of any rebuilt aluminum rotor will be greater than the copper plates of original rotors. So I strongly suggest you do NOT use an aluminum rotor for clocks located in your sleeping area.
I'll not rebuild any rotor or motor until I am paid. Once the old rotor and payment are received, I then rebuild the rotor and test and it generally takes about a few weeks or less, then it is shipped and will carry a 2-year warranty.
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 ($230.00 total).

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.
The word "TOP" is located on the rotor and that word should be facing straight up so that the rotor can self lubricate. In other words, the word "TOP" should be facing your ceiling. If you do not install the rotor correctly, it will shorten its life significantly.
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
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-1 & M-31 Rotors.
I must have the old rotor or add $50.00. 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 turn time is around a few weeks.
All rotors must 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 ($230.00 total).

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-1" & "M-31" Rotor
The M-1 is the original "B-2" rotor and very rare. These rotor 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.
All "B-2" M-1 & "B-3" M-31 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-1 or M-31 rotor or add $100.00. My turn time is around a few weeks.
All rotors must 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 ($280.00 total).

Telechron "B" Rotors Turning @ 60 or 30 R.P.M.'s
All 60 & 30 R.P.M. "B" 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. 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 $50.00. 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 turn time is around a few weeks.
All rotors must be accompanied with payment in full.

Telechron "H" Rotors
Most "H" rotors cost $100.00 plus $10.00 priority mail (Canada is $20.00) and have a 2-year warranty, which brings your total cost to $110.00 assuming you send the old rotor at time of payment. If your "H" rotor is aluminum it is far too fragile for rebuilding and I substitute a copper and nickel "H" rotor at an additional $50.00 for a total of $150.00 plus $10.00 priority mail (Canada is $20.00), which brings your total cost to $160.00.
I must have the old rotor or add $50.00. 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 turn time is around a few weeks.

NOTE: The M-2394 "H-3" rotor is a particularly troublesome rotor for me to rebuild. I have no logical explanation for this but I want you to be aware that this rotor may need about 10 minutes or so to get to speed once installed in your clock. So you may need to reset the time after this 10 minute period. It seems that the longer it runs, the better it performs.
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.

Telechron "H" Rotors Turning @ 14.4 R.P.M.'s (M-3218) & (M-3473)
All 14.4 R.P.M. "H" 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 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 $100.00. 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 turn time is around a few weeks.

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
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 ($130.00 total).
My turn time is a few days 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.

Telechron "C" Rotors
An original rebuilt rotor cost $650.00 plus $10.00 priority mail (Canada is $20.00) and has a 2-year warranty, which brings your total cost to $660.00 assuming you send the old rotor at time of payment.
I must have the old rotor. My turn time is around two to four months because I do not have a ready stock and your specific rotor will have to be rebuilt.
I have some in stock but most times I'd need your original, if you don't have an original then add $300.00 for using one from my stock.
"C" rotors usually have two wheels that must be sent out to be made and must be accompanied with payment in full.
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.

I must have the old motor in all cases, otherwise I'd have to guess and I hate guessing. My turn time is around a few weeks even if you want your specific motor rebuilt. If you do not send in the old motor, then there is a $50.00 charge in anticipation of the hassles that will ensue.

One thing you can do before you send in the motor is to take a Multimeter or Volt/Ohm meter, these are less than $10.00 at any hardware store, and with no current on the motor, set the meter to Ohms and touch the two leads to the end of the wires or the posts 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 I cannot repair your motor. You should still send it in because I may have an identical one in inventory that I can rebuild.

Hammond Rotor, Mastercrafters, & Sessions
Please be aware that Sessions motors were made directional specific. This means that some will turn clockwise and some will turn counter-clockwise. I may not have a replacement for clockwise turning motors. Clockwise as you look at the top of the motor as it is mounted in the clock. In general, the clockwise motors are the older motors from the late 20's to the early 40's. After that most, if not all, Sessions motors turn counter-clockwise.

You should realize that a Telechron coil will effectively replace the Hammond coil, if the need should arise, with the same wattage considerations.
Please be aware that these were made directional specific. This means that some will turn clockwise and some will turn counter-clockwise. I may not have a replacement for clockwise turning motors. Clockwise as you look at the top of the motor as it is mounted in the clock. In general, the clockwise motors are the older motors from the late 20's to the early 40's. After that most, if not all, Sessions 2-pin motors turn counter-clockwise.
I must have the old motor in all cases, otherwise I'd have to guess and I hate guessing. My turn time is around a few weeks even if you want your specific motor rebuilt. If you do not send in the old motor, then there is a $100.00 charge in anticipation of the hassles that will ensue.
If you want to send in the clock for motor 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 ($280.00 total).
One thing you can do before you send in the motor is to take a Multimeter or Volt/Ohm meter, these are less than $10.00 at any hardware store, and with no current on the motor, set the meter to Ohms and touch the two leads to the end of the wires or the posts 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 I cannot repair your motor. You should still send it in because I may have an identical one in inventory that I can rebuild.
I'll not ship the motor until I received payment, so in order to expedite the transaction please enclose your payment along with the old 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 !

The capsules sell for $100.00 plus the usual $10.00 priority mailing (Canada is $20.00), which brings your total cost to $110.00 and has a 2-year warranty.
These capsules are never rebuilt therefore it is not necessary to send me the old rotor. My turn time is around a week.

You might as well test your coil while your in the clock. So before you order the capsule, take a Multimeter or Volt/Ohm meter, these are less than $10.00 at any hardware store, and with no current on the motor, set the meter to Ohms and touch the two leads to the end of the wires and see if you get a reading.
Just about any reading is a good one and zero would be perfect. But if you get no reading what-so-ever then the motor's coil is dead and you will need that as well. I sell these circular fields, which house the coil, for $100.00 each plus $10.00 shipping in the US.
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.

Seth Thomas clocks with Sangamo Motors
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.
General Time had many motors for many applications and companies. Some were marketed as General Time, some were made for Seth Thomas, while others were made for Westclox.
I must have the old motor/rotor or add $50.00 to each option. My turn time is around a week.

United Motors, & Most Other Motors, or Rotors.
If any of these "uncommon motors" cannot be rebuilt, then you would only be out your initial shipping because I would return the old one back to you at no charge what so ever. 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.
Please try and keep the digital pictures under 250k, and no more than 2, thank you.
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, the turn around time will be about a few weeks.

Return to IndexThe "plate" over the back of the rotor has all the information you need. This plate cover contains the following information:
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.Any coil of the same wattage will work but the inside diameter is slightly different for each and the tightest fitting coil will give the best results. What I'm saying is that if you need a coil and the coil # is not legible then you should send the field and old coil and I'll find the best fitting good coil and return same. The cost is the same $100.00 plus shipping. There is one exception and that is either the # 10 or the # 12 coil which are 24 and 20 volts respectfully and can be used is any situation from 12 to 24 volts. These were typically used in clocks that were part of a door bell system like Nutone. Both the # 10 and the # 12 coil cost are $150.00 each plus shipping because they are very rare. 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 ($180.00 total).

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: Electric Overhaul Fees page
