Revere / General Electric Westminster Chime Clocks*
Service Packages and Options


Since we receive so many requests for service work, we have set up a list to reserve a spot for your repair work. We are working on that list trying to process a few clocks at a time. The list contains about 40 names at present. This means there will be quite a wait for repair services. When we work on a clock, IT GETS OUR FULL ATTENTION. If it takes a month or so before it can come in for service, it will be worked on without interuption. Please be patient as we are trying to honor all repair requests in order and not overbooking our shop.
To ADD YOUR NAME TO THE LIST, email AL at info@silverdollarproductions.net. He will place you on the list and be in contact with you with information and waiting times. Please do not contact ROY unless he is currently working on your clock.

NUMBER OF CLOCKS ON LIST: 69    NEXT CLOCK UP: 13

“THE OTHER GUY SAID MY REVERE CAN NEVER BE REPAIRED”

This is an all too common story we’ve heard over and over! When others tell you it’s hopeless, we tell you it’s not! Since we began accepting Reveres for outside repair in 2005, we have received dozens of collectors’ clocks as well as prized family heirlooms that have lain dormant for decades. Many of these people were told the clocks could never be repaired, or it would cost 6-weeks pay and 10-months to complete. Every one of these clocks has left our shop, fully operating, and in beautiful condition. We pride ourselves in our fair pricing, personal contact throughout the process, and reasonable turn-around times.

*Includes all General Electric, Telechron, Revere, & Herschede Chiming Clocks
 

MOVEMENT CLEAN AND OIL……EXPRESS®
Save $25 to $40 on any cleaning and oil program by
sending us your movement and hands only!

 

If you are so inclined, we will deduct $10 labor if you take your Revere or GE Movement out yourself. By sending us your movement and hands only, you reduce the time and weight needed to pack the entire clock. Under most circumstances, this cuts your shipping weight IN HALF, or more. Depending on your distance from Ohio, the round-trip shipping savings (including reduced insurance) would amount to $15 up to $30.

To support our new EXPRESS® program, we have provided step-by-step, online instructions to guide you through the process of removing, and installing your movement. Scroll down to see available EXPRESS® programs starting at $59!

TOTAL CLOCK RESTORATION- $179

A completed clock, worked from the inside-out!
Pre-1933 clocks- Add $45.00   Dual-Chime clocks- $275.00
Replacement of broken parts is additional

The Silverdollar Productions label affixed to the inside of your case would signify a finely reconditioned timepiece saved from the ravages of time! This is one area where most clockmakers don’t even want to get involved in. You may not notice it, but your clock has undergone a slow transition over the decades. Embedded dirt, layers of old wax, neglect and smoke damage have contributed to premature aging and drying of the wood.

In addition to a full movement overhaul, we restore your entire case. The wood on your case is deep cleaned, removing all old wax, dirt and smoke damage (but keeping the original finish and patina). Bad scratches get blended in. Then, after several days of hand-rubbing the finish back to a beautiful luster. In addition, all brass fixtures get machine buffed and re-lacquered. Dials, hands and glass are also cleaned. What you will get back is a beautiful clock ready to offer you many years of faithful service.


All work done the old-fashioned way!

We do not use polyurethane, spray varnish, waxes, or any other artificial short-cut type products.

All Clock Restorations come returned with our 12-page guide explaining the history of Revere clocks, as well as set-up and handling minor problems. Full email and phone support at no extra charge.
4-Month Warranty on workmanship (excluding your original rotors and coils)

Additional labor for repairs or adjustments are billed at $35/Hr.

Movement Overhaul
For your currently running Westminster clock.
This particular process does have a tendency to clear up several running and chiming problems associated with these clocks. If you are unsure whether or not your clock has had professional service in the last 10-years, then this process is highly recommended.


Every piece of your movement is removed. All pivots and pinions polished, bushings checked, and finally individually cleaned. The finished movement is almost like new.


All pieces are put back on your movement individually, using specially formulated oils and grease for electric clocks. These high-grade oils are made to withstand the higher temperatures of electric clocks without premature drying or gumming. All movements are tested for accuracy and operation before being returned.

Price does not include parts, or extra labor to correct more severe problems. Additional labor is billed at $35/hr

About Westminster Chimes Clock Parts
Please understand that parts for Reveres, Telechron, and GE clocks may be in short supply, or very difficult to come buy. Our parts supplies are reserved for our customers having their clocks repaired or restored.

Because of this, we regret the fact that we cannot sell any of the parts shown on these pages
on an individual basis.

Thank you for your understanding.
