Clocks, Watches/Clock Manual

Question
I have a D&A Korean Wall Clock. Where can I get an owner's manual. The clock worked fairly well for about a week. Now, even though I rewind it (not tight), it stops running after a few hours. I need a manual on how to clean, adjust, etc.
Thank you and best regards.

Answer
I doubt very much that a manual was ever prepared for this clock.  Since your objective seems to be to clean the clock  manufactures' manual would not suit your objective.  Such manuals are pretty much confined to setting up the clock and how to regulate it.  For your purpose I suggest you go to your public library and ask for books on basic clock repair.  The one I always recommend to my students is Philip E Balcomb's, "The Clock Repair Primer".  Regards WJP
