Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions

I'm contemplating the purchase of this brand of protractor.

Over the years I have relied on a good friend to mount cartridges and set up the few tables that I have owned in the past.
Relying on someone else to do this was for good reason.

I would never make it as a watch maker or any other profession that requires a fine touch and skill with steady hands.
The time has come where I will have to do this totally on my own.

My question to you owners of the Feickert protractor is what is your experience with it regarding ease of use and accuracy compared to other protractors?

Secondly, the disk has strobe markings for speed set up, does the Feickert package come with a strobe light for the $250. selling price?

I asked these question of a dealer sent via a e-mail and have not received a reply as of yet.

Thank you for your replies.

Dan ed,
Of course I was sent a tracking number. I have since found the package was sent from Jamaica N.Y., on July 11, and my local post office has no record of it, nor is it in their possesion. Hope it turns up.

Yeah, I remember something like that as well coming out of NY. Somehow it took like 4 days to get from NY to NH. Must have been a Yankees Fan! ;)

Dan ed,

I just arrived home and my dear wife handed me our local news paper as I walk through the door,

The headlines read...Canada Customs "On Guard For Thee"
Under the head lines it read ,Canada Customs returns suspicious package from foreign land...

On a serious note, Yip has informed me once the package arrives back in Hong Kong there will be an explanation from Canada Customs attached as to why it was rejected according to info Yip found out at the Hong Kong post office.

First hearing about this myself my thoughts were the same as yours, the bottle of cleaning fluid,... oh whats this!, the R.C.M.P. have surrounded our home.

Hi Mark, and all,

Just thought I'd let you know the Mintlp Best
Tractor finally showed up today, intact. Just read manual, and ready to see where I'm really at. Mark, I hope the RCMP didn't take you away. So far, no sign of the Secret Service or FBI at my door yet. (That's a joke to you Feds..)
Regards,
Dan
