Telechron Model #700 “Electrolarm” illuminated Art Deco Electric Alarm Clock in the rare white color. This clock comes with all its original trim pieces-very rare on these clocks, and is offered with NO RESERVE. There has been much speculation about Art Deco designer Paul T. Frankl and the design of this clock. Can’t tell if he designed it, but it certainly is at least an homage to his style. CONDITION: This clock has been gone through, and runs quietly and keeps excellent time. The clock has all of the original brass trim as you can see in the photos, which is rare in these clocks (the original glue often dried out and they fell away and were lost). The dial illumination also still functions as it should, and it has a correct oblong bulb. The glass crystal is a new piece of glass that has been silvered as the original one was. The back and all knobs are intact and correct for this white model (finished in brass and copper). The interior movement attachment point arms have been repaired with a strong two-part epoxy that works well on this material (these are often cracked or broken due to their fragility and contraction in size over the years). It is solid and strong. Ive spared no expense restoring this clock to look as it did when it was new. The case looks shiny and clean, as you can see in the photos. Comes with its original bakelite plug end and a correct rayon period cord. According to “Pappy”, this model might be the first self-starting alarm clock telechron. Net/700. In the following weeks Ill be offering several Telechron, General Electric/GE, Lawson, Hammond, New Haven, Seth Thomas, Winslow, Westinghouse, Westclox, Waltham and a dozen other brands from my personal collection. Many are the culmination of acquiring several parts clocks, and using 6 Million Dollar Man technology (and probably close to that amount of man hours and cash outlay) to make one gorgeous example. These pieces are not cheap, but are probably the best of their kind out there. While it is currently running beautifully and keeping great time, I cannot guarantee it will continue to run as it does now once you own it. It is 80+ years old, and should be treated that way. I do guarantee it will not arrive DOA. PLEASE SEE ALL PHOTOS FOR CONDITION: I have posted many large, clear and bright photos – all sides, including the insides and mechanism are posted here. The photos are an important part of the description, and should be considered when assessing condition. PLEASE PAY THE INVOICE WITHIN 3 DAYS OF RECEIPT.
