Free Antique Clock Give-away

Well, almost free…. I am asking the winner to PayPal me $20 for shipping, (this clock is Onyx and HEAVY)… but the clock part is definitely free. I am needing space (again) for a restoration I am finishing up and decided to part with this beauty. It is a Telechron (of course, only manufacture I know how to work on) and the serial dates it to 1936 manufacture. I restored it about two years ago, it is running perfectly and keeps excellent time; (but no box and papers ) Soooooooooo……


If you would like this clock, just post something in this thread about how great TheVTCGuy really is Or how bad Jocke is…. Or… anything else you want. Right now it is 7:00PM Pacific Time, Tuesday evening. Thursday morning at precisely 10:05:45 AM Pacific time (or whenever I feel like it) I’ll run a random number generator and pick the winning post. US only please (unless you would care to pay for the shipping). So Here it is and good luck!

Great clock Paul! Would love the opportunity to win it. The VTC guy is a great guy because of how wonderfully he takes care of, cares for and watches out for his Mom. My Mom and I were pretty close but in her finale years when ever Paul would post about his Mom it would always nudge me to make a extra phone call to check in. Paul is a great son! Yeah he’s got some quirks but his heart overshadows them all.

Beautiful, and I collect old Barometers, and this looks like a great combo!

TheVTCGuy, you're the ferkin' Bee's Knee's for offering this up, all the best, throw my hat in the mix as well.

The wife definitely won't be able to get me to throw this one away.....

This is very generous of you and generosity is one of the best qualities in a human.

And, if I'm selected, you won't even have to ship, I can pick it up (and pop for a drink)!

Thank you for including me in the drawing.

Nice Paul! Very Cool of you to do a Give-away!

I'm going to find or buy something fun that I can Give-Away Next Month. You may have started a New Give-Away Movement on TRF!

Beautiful clock, and excellent gesture. In the middle of a move myself so I'm out but I look forward to seeing what lucky TRFer gets it.

Excellent gesture

That clock would look great on my desk. It would go great with my VTCGuy photo PC screensaver and the pics of him on my office walls.

Great gesture Paul.

I won’t enter as shipping to the near north would be expensive.

Hope, it goes to a good home.

Great gesture indeed, Paul! Like Brian I won't be entering for the same reason but I'm excited for the lucky individual who ends up with a neat clock. The VTC Guy connection is a bonus in my books.

And the winner is…….


# 18 !!!!!!!!! Joey Chitwood


It was because of the pictures of me on his office walls and PC screen saver OK, actually, it was a random number generator but I am pleased to be giving this to a great guy and long time TRFer.

Someone tell him I need his shipping address, (and I’ll include a bunch of my stuff since he told me my room is ready).
