Chuckelator,
Ken Willis , handle, K. Willis on Audio Asylum produces an arc protractor in your price range of $40.00 to $50.00.
I have not used it however I understand it is highly accurate.

Option 2,

MintLp.com produce a highly accurate arc protractor for $90.00, shipping included, that is custom made for just about any particular table and arm.
I have used the Mint tractor and found it to be exceptionally accurate and easy to use.

Option 3,

The WallyTractor is another exceptional protractor. Price $150.00.
However, Wally is hard to nail down to get one.
