You're probably wondering why I've posted a picture of my work shop clock:

Well, to begin with it's and antique Telechron (GE) that I picked up over forty years ago along antique row on route 7 in Connecticut and, until only a few days ago, it worked like a charm with its two motors (one for the hour hands and one for the sweep second hand.

And, if you can believe this, it stopped almost at the moment that President Lincoln was assassinated (the same time that most watches and clocks are set for when advertised - there's something most people don't know!).

I was told that this clock was originally in a railroad station waiting room somewhere on the New York New Haven and Hartford line.

Anyway, my purpose in showing it was both to test my new picture download program on the computer and also to email to my clockmaker to see if he can fix it.

It is by no means for sale.

Regards,

Mr. 'L'
