Getting Started in Clock Repair: for Fun or Profit

Getting Started in Clock Repair: for Fun or Profit

How to get started in clock repair can be a frustrating experience. The many books presently available on clock repair are either out of date, describing outdated methods and procedures or they start the reader off with a movement that is no longer in production and he is unlikely to find, or they pick a complicated clock movement to use as an example. This book does none of that. First off the information contained therein is the most up to date regarding clock repair procedures. The book uses an easily available, simple clock movement to describe the inner workings of clock repair. It describes the theory of how and why a clock works because you can't repair something unless you understand how it works. It informs the reader how he can and should go from the simplest clock movement, a time only movement, then to a time and strike movement, and then when that is mastered onto the more complicated chiming clock movement. But most importantly, not only does the author say what movements to start with and where to find them, but he also tells what clocks to stay away from until more experience is gained. If someone is seriously interested in clock repair and wants to avoid the frustrating dead-ends invariably encountered reading outdated clock repair books then this book is for them. One of the more important features of this book is it tells the reader what other clock repair books he or she should read and in what sequence to further their clock repair skills and knowledge. Bu telling what books the reader should read he is also saying what clock repair books should be avoided because they are either out of date, redundant, etc. Then he goes on to inform the reader about 'nice to have' books in their horological library. For anyone seriously looking to get started in clock repair this book is for them.
