It is literally impossible to regulate 'all' S&S, either Hamburg or New York, to one set of specs, it just don't work....ohh it might get them all playing but performing at their best?? Nope won't happen. Never has and unless something drastic happens at S&S it never will. The ten year old 'B' that started this thread was probably not regulatable to "spec" either. S&S does not have a specific spec anyway for most regulating operations...usually what the spec book says is "start" at or "commencing" with, or "at the factory", or "apporximately"...and these terms don't mix well with any "concrete" mixture that I am aware of. :-) Jim Bryant (FL)
