I had a Mint for my Basis, but I found it too hard to see with my Transfiguration cart, with a small cantilever tucked under the body. It’s probably a lot easier with a Lyra or any cart with the cantilever out in front.
Mint Protractor. A Pretty Nice Alignment Tool
So when I bought my Triplanar the seller had a Mint protractor for it. It was cut to be used on a Garrard 401. As luck would have it, the spindle size is the same as the one on my Scheu Analog table. So I put it on the table this morning, and fine tuned the cartridge alignment. My overhang was off just the smidgiest of a smidge, and I made the slightest of corrections to the cantilever alignment. Using an overhead light it was very easy to see the alignment lines. Playback showed the efforts yielded positive results. I have to say this is a good product. Nothing magical about it, just a clean execution of an arc protractor.

@chayro For those cases I use my camera and snap a picture. It’s easier to get low and obtain an image you can then adjust from. With my Kiseki Blackheart 1st gen this is the only way I can accomplish this. I have a Proteus also that I do this with. |
