I read these series of posts through, and just can't understand why anyone would want to go nuts over this. VPI has a perfectly good alignment jig. My SME also came with a plastic jig similar to VPI's that works well...I double checked them both with a DB protractor and all is well. Why agonize over this?
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.
