Mobile Pro Shop Turntable Azimuth Cartridge Alignment Protractor Set- Vinyl Record Player VTA Azimuth Ruler + Turntable Phono Cartridge Stylus Alignment Protractor

part of a restoration

This little kit has the goods, a high quality phonograph protractor to set the proper angle of attack for the stylus in the cartridge to accurate tracking, but it is up to the user to inspect the "squareness" of the position of the cartridge which is a difficult thing to do I would say. Looking down from overhead seems like a good method, as well as looking dead on to the front of the cartridge, but it's just not a scientifically dependable method of measuring the "squareness" of the cartridge to the printed target. I did the best that I could do, and cross fingers it's close to being correct. The azimuth thing I couldn't comprehend, so I didn't use it nor would I attempt to loosen the attachment of the tonearm to make adjustments to satisfy the indicator on the scaled clear plex measuring "block".

Use as needed, very quick and simple.

This system does what it says. There are more elaborate systems out there that have one or two more features but this covers the basics. The instructions are included. The price is quite reasonable. Recommended.

Quality is is decent for the price.Good enough to get a proper set up of your turntables cartridge and tonearm.
