Wondering what light source works the best for setting up a cartridge. Seems like a gooseneck light with a light source that is focused would work the best and I have not found one to purchase. Any suggestions? Thanks
I use a small (one AA battery) LED flashlight, which lies on the platter pointing any direction I choose.
Costs virtually nothing, available virtually everywhere.
A headlamp wouldn't work for me, since I often want the light shining through the stylus toward me. My Magic Eraser wedge makes a handy light diffuser to avoid being blinded by the LEDs.
Simple, cheap, flexible. I can put $50 toward hiring some kid to wash some of these LPs! ;-)
I finally found a place that has the light I have been using when I cue my turntable at night when the lights are low. Search for Miles Kimball online, item# 317231. Uses 3 AAA batteries with LED's. I'm not familiar with mark up tags, otherwise I would have posted the link.
