Abstract
LEP precision measurements of the vertex coupling are sufficiently accurate to see the non-oblique corrections from the heavy gauge boson responsible for the large top mass in standard extended tecnicolour models. If the ETC couplings are strong the techni-fermion condensate may be enhanced by several orders of magnitude allowing a top mass of order 150GeV to be obtained for large values of the ETC breaking scale sufficient to supress the ETC contribution to the vertex. In this letter we investigate the degree of fine tuning of the ETC coupling required in a realistic model. We conclude that the fine tuning need only be of order .
