So here is the story on this Ebay Purchase! Jan. 2021 I paid (with shipping) $73 for this lot of 8 clocks. Only 6 were GE or Telechron, so, I didn't care about the other two. A couple had power cords, others didn't. Seller didn't know if any ran. So, I took a chance.
As it turns out, 4 of the 6 had cracked cases or missing crystals. The other two that didn't appear broken in the picture arrived broken during shipping. So, to any of you, you would have wasted $73 on A BOX OF BUSTED JUNK! Not even enough good parts to make one good clock!
I'm fortunate! At least I was able to salvage some useful parts for future customers. A couple decent (plastic) crystals, coils, possibly some rotors that I might be able to revive. The rest? In the garbage!
The moral here is: I am prepared to accept such mistakes! I have the knowledge and expertise to repair these clocks. The real question is, DO YOU????

5 out of 5 stars Awesome book about the Telechron and General Electric clocks . The author without a doubt is quite knowledgeable on this subject matter giving his insights on what to look for and how to buy these collectible treasures. It is to our good fortune to have someone interested in, the willingness to share his expertise and the ability to place these sought after gems back on the shelf doing what they were built to do, in some cases 80 years ago. AMAZING. We celebrate having you Roy! THANKYOU
