today i graduated from stahls seventys as i got my diploma [img]/content/btubb/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img] Its really a great school and our instructor jamie really taught us alot. Now i know it all lol.......j/k
but i can now go down to dayton and take over Kings center so he can do his Gm work....ill make the place run even better....so look out jerry
WANGJ,
you don't want to go near KINGS machines! [img]/content/btubb/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif[/img]
they didn't teach you enough to work on them.
his machines are JERRY rigged to the hilt.
you need to go to jerry rigg school. [img]/content/btubb/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif[/img]
do you know anything about sure stucks,that's another jerry rigging school you need to attend.
the whole place is probably sabotaged with jerry rigs! [img]/content/btubb/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif[/img]
if things aren't going right just use a bigger hammer! DIRT
No offense, but if you learned a lot they must have changed the Stahl's school drastically since I attended 6 years ago. I thought it was a total waste of my time and money (other than the tasty Minnesota beer!). Of course, I had almost 20 years of experience on 82-70's before I got there...so I probably knew it all already [img]/content/btubb/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif[/img]
Congratulations Wang! You made the right decision in going to Apple Valley.
Although we had different instructors, the curriculum is likely very similar or improved.
I think of going to the school as a big way of cheating (but not in a bad way).
You benefit from all of the knowledge and experience of a company that gets called with brainbusters every day, as well as getting smooth improvements and clever tricks for machine maintenance.
It's like Bowl-Tech, but in a neat, tidy, hands-on package, and free of commentary!
The notes I started there have grown from a notebook to a 3 1/2" looseleaf, but I still refer to the original set often!
Nonetheless, it takes a lot to be honored with the duty of caring for Jerry's machines...that's something no school can teach!
Congrats! You built a good strong foundation with the schooling... what you'll build on top of it with experience, no school will ever be able to teach. Some things you have to do wrong a couple times, bust a few knuckles, and use a lot of foul language... then you really learn it. Just remember... machinery doesn't always follow a book. Your biggest useful skill will be the ability to think outside the book learning and work through a problem, no matter what it is... if you can do that, you'll make a hell of a mechanic.
Good luck!

GOOD DEAL!!!!!! [img]/content/btubb/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif[/img]
IT IS ALWAYS GREAT TO GET THAT EXTRA KNOWLEDGE.
JUST REMEMBER, YOUR HOUSE HAS FRIENDS, IF EVER THE NEED FOR HELP OR THE EXTRA HAND, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CALL.

I never got to say these words...alas. I had to learn the art of 8270 repair and maintenance on my own. Many a nights I sat a watched and memorized every moving part, every mechanical malfunction, every possible stress point of my 24, 67 yr old highly polished, well oiled, forever running AMFs that I inherited from the man i call "Bany". Thanks Paul, for not forcing me to go to Stahls school. I learn one important thing about 8270's.... if it ain't broke, don't f*** with it. By the way Jamie is good and as long as I keep buying from Stahls, I'll get answers.
