Terry, Looking through my new Journal I came across the ad for the Renner Grand Action Model. Would this be of much value to a RPT wanna be? I have an upright model and it has been very valuable to practice basic adjustments. Any recommendations will be appreciated. IMMHO, any action model will do you well in not only preparing you for RPT exams, but in simulating reallife. BY that, I mean that you not only can practice the regulation procedures, but once in regulation, you can unregulate one adjustment (screw/spring tension/dip/etc.) at a time to see what effect it has. This can be a great help in quickly determining the cause of malfunctions "in the field". Fast, accurate trouble shooting not only saves you time, frustration and earns you money, but makes you look good, too and leads to repeat business! my 2¢.
