Seek Ampichron Clock Motor & Rotor Repair
By Robert Broze

In Bob Taylor's MMD memo of 2008.06.27 he mentions repairing the
electric Telechron rotor.  My Ampichron clock has stopped and thus
I am interested in any information on its repair.

What typically fails in this motor?  Any tips on the rotor repair?
Have any of the MMD readers done any such repairs.  Does anyone offer
a repair service for these motors?

Also, does anybody in the MMD have the vacuum and tubing connections
diagram for the Ampichron Clock in the Ampico B piano (or any good
hints)?

Thank you,
Robert Broze
