Is Wally tool preffered for Graham 2.2?

I own a Wally Tracker Mirror for my Morch UP-4 Arm made for my VPI Table and I like using it But sparingly.When I do finally get it out I must clear my kithcen table,put the VPI on that, attach my big drafting table lamp with high magnification to the kithcen table,now put on a triple magnification jewlers hat and then line up point zero and one over and over again
until the sweat beads start dripping from my bald head.But thats the fun of Analog you say,and yes my ears do reward me after completing this 2 hour task.
I use to own the Mobile Fidelity black plastic alignment platter.So Easy So Fast,But to easy to screw things up.
One last point to make.Whenever I play those big thick 200 gram LP's from Classic Records I need to start the whole process all over again,But I've given up for now .I haven't used the Wally Tracker in atleast 1 year,and all I really want to do now is just spin LP's like Raul does.
Happy Listening

Dear Rich: This protractor is a combination of a Dennesen one and DB protractor two null points. It works.

Regards and enjoy the music.
Raul.

Thanks Raul. I think I am going to buy one for my arm.

I have to jump in here despite the fact that I know what will probably transpire. My experiences are based on my own "karma" which is notoriusly plagued with, "Wow, I never saw that before", comments from others.
I have both the Graham and Wally protractors. I have yet to use my Wally tool (TT set-up burn out) so I cannot say for sure if it is better/easier. But what I can say is why I bought it in the first place. I'm sure to hear from Bob on this but I can only say what I found. I was all for the Graham tool and used it often. But I found a couple things that I did not like. The first was the fact that it was important to put support at the rear of the tonearm when it was in the protractor. If the arm was not secure and level the settings were different. I used a small level atop the armwand to get it level. The manual made no mention of this as far as I remember. Also, I had the chance to use three separate protractor units at the same time and they were never the same. Two were close but one was clearly different, the lines were slightly skewed. I ended up keeping the unit that seemed the best. I was very shocked and disappointed that I found such differences between the protractors. I was really tempted at the time to send it back and ask why this one was so different.
Also, my manual clearly states "The rotating clear plastic alignment target plate rests on the stylus tip, exerting a force of about 2.0 grams, thereby placing the cantilever in its dynamic, opertaing position." Bob, when did this change to 1.25 g.?

dear bob
i am really glad you are working on what is my only personal
weakness found using your otherwise excellent alignment jig
to be able to adjust the heigt on the flip plate would finally allow me to evaluate the cartridge mans isolator in
conjunction with my koetsu [a tall order literally].
as for alignment on the 2.2 i set up my friends one using the jig in a very short time and that included redrilling
the topplate and mounting the arm.
i dont think my friend expected the leap in performance the
2.2 offered over his zeta
but his face said it all GOBSMACKED!
On another note bob
thank you for the work you did on the broken 1.5
[you remember the one in the grey plastic box]
the above comments are based on the upgraded arm that you returned.
bob you are a true gentleman and a scholar
keep up the good work
best regards
