Checking azimuth with a DMM or scope, please advise


Was thinking about the fozgometer, but I already have a couple DMM's and a digital scope...so I would like to try this with what I have.

I've searched but haven't found a good tutorial so I apologize if there is one. I have a Fluke 87 & 89 IV, along with a Rigol 1054Z, as well as a number of spare caps and resistors if I need to make a filter circuit.

This will be on a 1200 Mk5 and I may need to go with the stock headshell instead of a few LP Zupreme's with a much easier azimuth adjustment due to compliance. 

All input appreciated.

Thanks.

My advice: use the LP headshell for its azimuth adjustability.  Forget high priced measuring devices.  Your ears should be enough.  Trust them.  Azimuth adjustment is easy to hear, though better in the long run if you had purchased a TT with arm easier to adjust for azimuth. So with yours it will take a few tries, but you'll get it.  Begin with headshell parallel, from front, to its reflection in the record.
