I bought this numechron from a gentlemen in Mayfield in NY state. There is half of a light green label on the bottom of the case that tells how to set the clock from the front (see fourth picture). The case was made by Adler Royal and has their tag is also on the bottom of the case. The case is in rough condition, but the inlays in the wood still show through (see first picture). I may refurb the case and bring it back to its glory days. The cord and plug (see cord and plug in first picture) are shot but I haven't replaced them yet, I am going to use fiber wrapped cord on it and give it a new plug too when I get up to the hardware store.
Went to the hardware store and bought a cord, hooked up the clock and it does run but it is noisy. I wish it had a open rotor like my Pennwood 305.
