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.

Just to add my voice regarding the virtues of the Mint LP. Having read some of the comments on this thread I took the plunge and ordered one and I must say I am very impressed. Very easy to use as long as one remembers the importance of light, patience and more patience. The instructions were very well written with good drawings and photographs and some helpful tips thrown in for good measure, especially regarding "PATIENCE". Do as Yip says and it works.

Really, the best $90 I have ever spent. Excellent sonic rewards and the confidence that the set up is as close to spot on as these old eyes are ever go to be able to get. Yip was a very nice guy to deal with as well and super efficient service which went beyond what I was anticipating.
