    Description

    This listing is for two protractors
    Designed and sold from our United States factory in Ohio.
    High quality turntable protractor!
    Align your needle/cartridge to the tracks evenly!
    Fine feature tolerance for precision!
    Strong fiberglass construction.
    Real GOLD alignment lines on a black backdrop allows for perfect visibility!
    We think the mirror turntable protractors are somewhat a gimmick, so instead we have merged the idea of a high visibility protractor with an attractive and accurate turntable accessory.
    Directions:
    1: on the turntable remove any records and place the protractor on facing you
    2: with the cartridge in headshell loosely tighten screws so that the cartridge's position holds but is adjustable
    3: set arm to "up position"
    4: swing head over the 120.9mm point on protractor and spin the protractor to meet up with the head
    5: align the needle tip to above the dot
    Optional: adding stylus cover may help for adjustment or protection
    6: by moving and/or turning the cartridge, align front of cartridge parallel to the nearest line.
    Optional: if the cartridge's sides are perpendicular to its front you may align the sides using the other set of lines
    7: go over the 66.04mm position and align the cartridge again
    Repeat adjustment going from 120.9mm to 66.04mm until alignment tolerance has been refined
    Tighten screws and maybe recheck alignment.
    Do a playback check by listening to a record and pay attention to the quality of the beginning and end of a side!
