Default Turbine vibration test, key method.

Has anyone heard of this test? Place your house key (without the key ring) on top of your turbine, if at full power the key falls off the turbine you need to have your bearings checked or your turbine is out of balance. What amount of vibration is considered OK?

I tried this test above on a JB-220 and the keys stayed in place.
