Ken M's Mark II cycling was knocked out of whack when he installed new
tapes.  The tapes now stop well short of the pulse mark, so the inching
part of the cycling takes a lot longer than it should.  Jerry's Mark I
Julia cycles very quickly in comparison, as little as 3 seconds with an
average of about 5-7 seconds, because it stops fairly close to the pulse
and doesn't have so far to inch along.  Ken's Mark II is probably 15-30
seconds or so.  I am sure Ken's Mark II can be adjusted to correct this.

I would love to see this adjustment (if there is one) written up and posted on a web site somewhere.  I'll post it to my site if someone can explain the adjustment to me.  I know there's only a handful of people who would be helped by this, but it would be good information to have.

Actually, the cycling speed issue doesn't bother me much, since I don't switch stations mid-song, but I'd like to fix it just so I don't have to keep hearing about it ;-) (as I did at the recent MONEYPIT 2003 get together in Vermont last weekend).
