2H59 The Wallwood
This plaque clock is richly handsome. Ginger spice finish with gold color floating numerals, deep black dial. Or smart natural wood with black numerals. Low cost.
Just
when I think there are no more surprises inside Telechrons, I buy one of
these things (Five bucks!). Now a Telechron rotor running upright
not only runs silently but virtually friction-free; all the parts are protected
by a film of oil. The 2H59's movement, including the rotor,
is rotated 90 degrees for NO REASON. I'd like to meet the dope who
approved this design. Only a couple of minor changes and they could
have had the movement right-side up. The rotor counts on having its
oil at the bottom of the case much like a car gets it oil from the pan.
The rotor was naturally at death's door by the time it came into my care.
It wasn't the only disappointment: The clock's dial was is little
more than tin foil and the crystal and numeral ring are plastic.
Boooooo!
