Grand Jacks

[Mark Dierauf]

I remember a class with Chris Robinson years ago where he went through 
the regulation item by item, saying things like "Ok,  this screw adjusts 
the repetition lever height...so let's turn the sucker all the way down 
and see what happens. No? Doesn't work? Then lets turn it all the way UP 
and see what happens!" It was a great way (I thought) to illustrate how 
these parts work, and work together. By all means, as Ric says...experiment!
