For the rest of what I have to say about this practice, see the Journal a few months back. Del >> I've come to this conclusion, too. I go through streaks of tightening before tuning and then long streaks of not worrying about tightening any plate screws/bolts. And, frankly, tuning stability is the same. Humidity changes...now there's the rub. And while on this thread, I once heard an older, experienced technician say that he would NEVER tighten any plate bolts in the winter season. Any thoughts on the validity of that one? Best Wishes + Stay Tuned! Mike Hoffman, RPT Marquette, MI
