As a matter of fact, everyone should do that, just for peace of mind. This is especially important after an upgrade to 512K or to Megabytes. My Mickey "acted up" after I upgraded to 2Meg and when I checked, my 5 Volt level at the plug where the ribbon-cable coming from the main board connects into the analog board, showed only 4.3 Volts. From what I have seen, *EVERYONE* should check (have someone check) and adjust all settings on the analog board right after purchase and anytime the machine is open and had not been checked for a while. Of course, if you are still in warranty or if you are not absolutely sure what you are doing, I encourage you to pay the few bucks this might cost you to have a certified Apple tech do this for you. On the other hand, I myself don't really have much trust and confidence in the "run of the mill" (lawyer, doctor, car-mechanic) technicians, but at least you can sue them (maybe), whereas you can't even kick yourself in the rear effectively....
