Instructions for a Turntable Basics Protractor

Sorry Doug that I failed to mention it was you who taught me these good tricks to enhance effectiveness with this Protractor. I feel it at times it is impolite to mention another person's name without thier permission.

Thank you for adding, and reminding us about the parallax error, and how the aligning both first surface, and reflected lines will enhance alignment while looking at the grid. Mark

I have this tool and the instruction sheet that came with it.If you want to send me your snail mail address I'll copy the one page and mail it to you (for free even).Casey.

No problem Mark. It was Frank Schroeder who taught me the string trick. We all learn from each other!

Again, I appreciate all of your help.

If I am not mistaken, I believe that I have read that using a auto leveling laser light which can be purchased from Home Depot or Lowes could be used in place of the string.

A laser leveller does work but a thread (not "string", I misspoke) is actually more accurate - thanks to the parallax effect. Sometimes simplest is best. :-)

One thing we ought to have asked is, what tonearm/turntable are you planning to use this protractor with? If your rig isn't Baerwald compatible then this whole discussion is moot.
