Maintenance, Repair, and Customization of the Typical HO Gauge Slot-Car
By: Phillip R. Morgan
About the Book
Maintenance, Repair, and Customization of the Typical HO Gauge Slot-Car is a how-to book that the author Philip R. Morgan hopes will be useful to slot car enthusiasts. It is his way of passing on his practical knowledge of the subject gained from sixty odd years of slot car collecting and racing. While the book contains insights and tips concerning maintenance and repair, he feels the overriding theme is salvage-Mr. Morgan has witnessed the abject and unnecessary loss of equipment many times over in his years of attending to this hobby. The loss he saw was due to inexperience or ignorance of how to treat the equipment and get it back into working order. His extensive wealth of knowledge is helpful to any slot car enthusiasts, experienced or novice, and this book is full of handy photographs accompanied by detailed explanation.
