Kurzbeschreibung
"How To Fix Your Own Clock" gives simple answers to basic minor problems that can be easily corrected by most clock owners. This book is written for the typical mechanical clock owner who knows little about clocks - and who doesn't want to run up a repair bill if it can be helped. The book is in an easy to understand question and answer format, and comes from actual questions from the author's newspaper column. The author, Richard Hansen (a master clock repairman and owner of his own clock repair business for 15 years), knows that often, a clock may need little more than the correct set-up, or a minor adjustment to go from "dust collector" in your attic - to "treasured and accurate timepiece" in your living room! He wrote this book so you can get your clock going - and keep it going - easily and inexpensively!

good book for uninformed clock owner, not for a repairman
29. Juli 2011
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
The person doing comments for ElderberryBooks missed the point of the book. The book was never intended to be for serious instructions for total overhaul of a clock. It is intended to be a do-at-home manual for a clock owner who has little mechanical skills and only vague knowledge of what a clock is. A better book title could be "Simple answers for trivial questions about taking care of your own clock, for the very naive clock owner". This title is more appropriate but not flattering to the clock owner. The book format is 28 questions in the front of the book, followed by answers. All questions are visible at the publishers site " Goofy Rooster-Publishing.com". A key point the book makes is that a clock must be in beat, whether it is level or not is immaterial. Being in beat is different than being level. Most persons don't know that. It covers over-winding as being an urban legend, and explains why.
The author wrote the book to be a handout for anyone picking up their clock after a serious repair, to circumvent the same naive questions being answered over and over again at pickup and in phone calls later on with basic questions.

Basic facts, no real info here
30. Juni 2011
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Bought this book in hopes to repair a few clocks I have. The book does give some basic knowledge of clocks and clock movements, but has no actual breakdowns of the movements. Does not give info on how to clean and oil a clock, which is the most basic of maintenance. Not worth the $8.00 if you ask me. Keep your money and buy a better more in depth book. The fact sin this book you can learn on the internet for free.

Excellent and practical book
22. Juni 2011
Format:Taschenbuch
This book finally gives a better understanding of clocks. Many of us herited (or bought for its beauty and class) a grandfather clock or clocks in similar venue. These clocks are part of our history. They are investments and they should be taken care of just like a Bentley or a Rolls Royce....
These special expensive clocks needs attention to keep them working properly..... with usually taking them to the less and less existing clock specialists. Although in case of major problems taking them to specialists is the only way to go (like humans being taken to hospitals) but in minor cases we can fix the problem at home by the instructions from the long awaited book. Hansen's work finally fill a gap giving us the "home remedy" solution. This book has a brilliant practical and simple, easy to understand style and it helped me to solve a problem that occured with my 150 years old grandfather clock.
Without this book I would have faced a trip to a specialist. Having this practical instruction pamphlet I solved the issue with my clock.
However in case of a major problem god forbid I would take my clock not to anyone else but only to this great writer/clock scientist Richard Hansen who is passionate about clocks and who cares about us regular everyday people whoever happened to own an old family clock. Thank you Mr.Hansen.
Btw the cover is absolutely hillarious, great eye catching funny image!!
