Terry: I believe the jerk method does a quicker and better job of setting the pins on the first tuning. Just my opinion. Heck, don't listen to me. Willem can tell you I probably can't even past the tuning or technican RPT test. Remember , I'm just a 30 year associate who has only been rebuilding , tuning and refinishing but will probably never be an RPT. The boys in Nashville said I had to wait 2 years before they would consider administering the RPT tests. Hell, I'm too old to wait that long. They also told them young kids in Nashville that the RPT's made the money. I smiled as I left the meeting....the only associate driving a new Cadillac. Maybe someday, me and my two best ole buddies in Birmingham will get good enough to be RPT. Tommy Black Decatur, Ala. Tommy Black Decatur, Ala.
