"So far the course is great.  I had taken a course many years ago from "The School of Clock Repair", and the DVDs show a lot that I had missed.  I am looking forward to finishing the courses and starting my new "retirement" vocation."  Dennis from IL.

"I am a new student of your Clock Repair 1 & 2 training course - I'm very pleased with the level of detail covered in the training."  Terry from U.S.A.

"I have been watching your clock repair videos with absolute awe and wonder.  I have watched the first in the series, Clock Repair 1 & 2.  Perfect.  I've watched the second in the series.  Wonderful.  You don't know how much a godsend you are.  My dear Father had a clock that he loved and played with.  My last memory of him is doing something with a nail on his jewelers lathe to fix his clock.  There were 17 ruined nails in a pile...When he died, the clock was working, but it wasn't totally reassembled.  That was 4 years ago.  Thanks to you, and your instruction, I will hopefully be able to fix his clock.  I have his jewelers lathe, the parts and pieces, the calipers and a lot of the tools of which you speak.  Do you know what my dad could have done with your video instruction?  It boggles the mind because I do think he was doing things the hard way.  Thank you."  Margaret from U.S.A.

"I have purchased your first two courses and finished course one.  It was terrific and I am working on a couple of clocks now."  Rodger from U.S.A.

"I've been able to disassemble and reassemble the works several times.  I'm truly impressed with your videos since I have no previous experience in clock repair."  Bob from U.S.A.

"Thanks for another superb clock course!  Joe from U.S.A.

"I ordered your Clock Repair 1 and 2, and was very impressed with the video.  It has proven to be very helpful.  I just placed an order for your Advanced Clock Repair.  Looking forward to watching your Advanced clock repair."  Neil from U.S.A.

"Wanted to let you know I received your course yesterday -- thanks for the fast shipping.  I am enjoying the course immensely so far!"  Robb from FL

"Hey John, Just wanted to tell you that I finished watching the DVDs, and feel like you taught me a lot about clock repair.  I am glad you went through TOTAL dismantling and reassembling of a movement.  My wife got me into it.  Her father was really good at fixing old clocks.  He learned from his father.  So we decided to buy him a Gilbert clock as a present, and I was winding it, and the mainspring broke.  I was going to give him a clock and a project (which he would like).  None of his 5 kids are really interested in clock repair.  This past Christmas he and I started talking about clocks.  When my wife and I decided to get him the clock.  I started getting excited about clock repair.  He was going to start teaching me about how to fix clocks.  We talked a lot on the phone, and he did teach me a little.  Unfortunately, both he and my mother in law were killed in an auto accident the day before his birthday just a few weeks back.  After awhile, I decided to try to learn enough about clocks to repair that Gilbert we had gotten for him.  I feel it's something I want to do for him.  He had previously given us a clock and given clocks to all of his other children.  Now the family is kinda looking to me to learn enough to keep them all running.  I just thought you might want to know that your courses on repair have given me the confidence to say, "I think I can do it!!"  Thanks a bunch!!"  Chris from U.S.A.

"Loved your advanced course and plan to order the pro course today! Thanks."  Randy from PA

"John:  I have received the educational video/info and am impressed by all the practical and helpful information.  Thank you for taking the time to produce this very practical, beneficial information!"  D.W. from IL

"I enjoyed your quality DVD Clock Repair 1&2 course that I bought from you in February 2004 and look forward to the next one I just purchased.  Great Job!  Thanks!"  Mike from U.S.A.

"I finished watching the DVDs you sent last week  I have started watching them again - all four sets.  I appreciate the level of instruction you provide.  Your instructions are very clear.  Thank you again."  Robert from, GA 

"I received your DVD course last week and wanted to send along a brief message to let you know that I am thoroughly pleased with the quality and with the wealth of knowledge contained therein. Your instructions are clearly presented, with no short-cuts, and at a pace that a beginner like myself can appreciate. I’m glad I found your website! Thank you for this excellent instructional video, John! I look forward to continuing my home education using your courses!"  Jay from, CA

"Mr. Tope.  The clock repair program has helped me a lot, and I want to thank you."   Shelby from U.S.A.

"Hello
I got the clock courses and I'm thrilled! I had previously gotten the basic course in 2006 and loved it. I know that eventually I'll end up with all of them.
I followed up with positive feedback on all of them for you. I know I'll be back!
Have a great day. Thank you again for making this very valuable information affordable and so detailed. It is a tremendous help when trying to maintain my clock collection." 
Valerie from U.S.A.

"I've watched your first DVD set "Clock Repair 1 & 2" several times and must say I have completely enjoyed them.  I've also ordered the next series of DVDs to complement my collection and will, no doubt, be adding the final set at some point in the future.  Once again, thanks for the GREAT videos and I'm looking forward to receiving my next set."  Bob from MO

"Thank you so much for the wonderful course on clock repair.  The production was wonderful and I should know because I work as the Creative Services Director for a television station.  I have always wanted to learn clock repair and I have you to thank for starting me on this exciting and fun journey.  As soon as I gain a little more experience on repairing clocks I am going to order you next two courses.  I really did find them fascinating.  Thanks again for a GREAT course and sharing your clock restoration secrets."  Dennis from U.S.A.

"I purchased your Clock Repair 1 & 2 about 6 months ago... I have really learned so much.  I am on my second time viewing and each time I see something I didn't see or understand from the first viewing.  Great Job!  Thanks, John! It's a pleasure learning from you!"  Jean from U.S.A.  "P.S. I just recently joined the NAWCC because of your involvement.  Just to let you know!"

"I am finding your clock courses FANTASTIC!!!!  Thank you very much."  Gary from U.S.A.

"I received the DVDs today and was nicely surprised with the presentation and overall quality of the product.  I expect to purchase more as I work through them."  Chuck from U.S.A.

"As starting out in clock repair, I recently purchased you Clock Repair 1 & 2 and thought it was great!  I repaired my first movement and it actually worked!"  Russell from U.S.A.

"I've watched 2 tapes the first night.  Can't wait to get started!  I have three Terry type movements now in various states of repair.  Now I have a much better insight on the movements.  Until now I have found very little on the repair of these WW movements."  Mark from U.S.A.

"Congratulations on an outstanding job of training.  I bought 2 courses and I can tell you that I thought they were better than any suitcase class I have ever had at the NAWCC.  Great job!  It was worth the money!"  Art from WA.

"I cannot thank you enough for the great videos you produce.  The wealth of knowledge has saved me a hundred times what I would have had to fork out to a professional clock repairman.  Explained in layman's terms your videos are easy to follow with countless money saving tips on tools, books, etc.  I am simply amazed that someone like myself with limited mechanical knowledge, but a sincere desire to learn, can actually repair clocks 80+ years old following your step-by-step procedure."  Eric from Japan.

"WEALTH of information!!!  Excellent video!!!!  Thank you John!!!!!!!"   Kathy from U.S.A.

"I received the tapes for Clock Repair 1 and 2.  I have viewed them both with great interest.  Thank you VERY MUCH for taking the time to put together such a thoughtfully presented, detailed and non-condescending video course.  I plan to watch them again!"  Joe from California.

"Exactly What I was looking for.  Many thanks."   Randall from Concord, CA

"I just wanted to let you know I just finally had time to watch your video.  It was EXCELLENT!!  It was very down to earth and easy to follow!!  I will be ordering the advanced video soon."  Peggy from U.S.A.

"Excellent tape on Clock Repair. Thanks."   Al from Southampton, MA

"I received the clock repair program and it is very detailed and informative...I like the videos and the manual is an excellent supplement...I'm going to perform surgery on several of my time pieces and keep them maintained successfully!!!"   Sharlyne from Tallahassee, FL

"The videos are fantastic.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED."   William from U.S.A.

"Your instruction is by far the most descriptive and easy to understand!  No other instructor has anything on you for quality of instruction on tape format!  Others are overviews....covering a lot in one lesson, but little detail or questions answered."   Katie from Meridian, ID 

"Great stuff you can learn from these tapes.  I will buy from you again.  Thanks John."   Greg from U.S.A.

"John, first let me say "THANK YOU" for your videos.  I was a bit apprehensive about spending the money for all 3 courses, but I am simply delighted that I did.  I have already gone through the first 2 courses and have found myself replaying particular parts over again to get the specifics down correctly.  Well done thanks!"  John from ME.
