I have 72 spoke chrome wire wheels (Dayton brand) on my MGA.  I understand
the importance of keeping the spoke properly tightened to keep the wheel
round, etc, from way way back when I tighten the spokes on my bicycle until
they were really snug, andthe wheels were shaped like a pretzel. (Okay... I
was 10 years old!)

Assuming that it's fairly complicated, where do I find out about proper
methods, and how often should it be done?   Should a "pro" do it?  Is more
required than a spoke wrench?  I doubt that it matters, but I have Dunlop
bias-ply tires mounted.
Thanks in advance.
