Collecting Telechron Clocks
There is a growing community of hobbyists who collect Telechron clocks. An antique Telechron clock will usually come to life immediately (though sometimes noisily) when it is plugged in; the type "H" rotor, in particular, is known for running smoothly for 50, 60 or even more years without any mechanical breakdown or loss of accuracy. The beauty of the design of many of the Telechrons adds to their attraction. Since Telechrons were mass-produced, the most common models will usually sell for between 15 and 40 dollars on websites such as eBay.

The reptile profligates in a flame,
Spoilers and pokers of sleep....”
