I just wish I'd gotten one years ago. But I did the same thing as you, Brad. I timed one the "old-fashioned" way and got it perfect, then put the tach on it to see what it read.  |  IP: Logged Sean McKinnon Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1712 From: Peabody Massachusetts Registered: Sep 2000 posted 06-03-2008 11:43 AM                        Ok, to each thier own. Everyone is different and has different methods that work best for them. I am sure that you are more skilled at timing these platters than I am as you have been doing it a lot longer than I. Personally I find that I get much better results using the Tach but I will be the first to admit I was never good at doing it the old fashioned way.  |  IP: Logged
