<html> <body> Julia - As Isaac said, previous comments have been on the mark, as were his own, though I'd like him to list the other three kinds of jacks he uses. My one addition:  in looking for a "home made" solution,  why not build the one Susan Graham described in her first foray as contributor to (or tech editor of) the Journal?   I'll bet someone (maybe Susan) could come up with the issue citation.  I made one that worked perfectly for years - probably still does; I left it at a prior employment.  It's smaller, more compact than the one from Jansen and comes in a variety of finishes - your own.

I am just wondering if I should refer the job to another tuner in our chapter, who has the jack, since I wont be able to make the money back for buying the jack on the first job. Is it worth buying? Is there a big call for this type of work, or will the thing just sit? Is there a "home made way" of doing this job?   Julia Gottshall Reading, PA <hr> See what's free at <a href="http://www.aol.com?ncid=AOLAOF00020000000503">AOL.com</a>. </blockquote></body> </html>
