Frequently Asked Questions
-
What are the prices of the
clocks? I am always buying / selling / trading these clocks so
please
email me for pricing and availability.
- Do you have any wooden versions available? I only have
the plastic kits. I do not know of a source for the wooden version or
if anybody even makes one. If you do have information on wooden Ball Clocks,
let me know.
- How many balls does the clock use? The bottom rail uses
1 large silver ball. The middle rail uses a medium black ball. The top rail
uses a small black ball. 30 of the regular silver balls are needed for
the feed rail.
- Do you have any parts for the Idle-Tyme ball clocks?
No, I only have parts for the Arrow Handicraft version kit #675.
- Do you sell replacement motors for the ball clocks and domino clocks?
I will sell a replacement motor only if you have your old one to
trade in. If you have already taken the motor apart, I may not honor a
trade.
- What is your warranty on your clocks and motors?
The clocks and parts are sold as-is. Sales are final. Restoring the
clocks is a hobby of mine. This is not Walmart. These machines were
quirky even back when they were new. I cannot make a warranty on a novelty
clock that is nearly 30 years old. If there is an issue I will always try to
assist.
- Do you have parts for the Time Machine? I do not have parts
for the Time Machines other than the ball bearings. I do not know of any
source to replace the Time Machine motors. If you have found one, please let
me know.
- Do you ship clocks and parts internationally?
I will ship the clocks and/or parts to any country. I typically use U.S
Postal Airmail. If you want another carrier, just let me know.
- What is the turnaround time for a motor repair? Typically I
service the motors the same day I get them and ship them the following day.
- I haven't gotten a reply to my email. Why not? I
answer every email I get from this site, usually within a couple of days. I
get tons of spam and sometimes a legitimate email can fall through the
cracks. If you haven't gotten a reply after a few days, you should email me
again.
- I want to build my own clock from scratch. Do you have any plans or
blueprints? Sorry I don't have any documentation on how to make
your own clock.
