Feickert Protractor - anyone use one?


Looking around, I came across the Dr Feickert protractor.

Does anyone have one and is it worth the price and does it really help you setup your TT better than other standard mats?

there is no divot, but there is a circle at the proper cross .  I did replace the pointer at the end of the beam with a  laser pointer.  with the protractor the feikert adjust+pro and my ears i am confident that i get very accurate cart alignment.as with most things, the more you use something the easier it gets.

I also have the metal Dennesen. I prefer the Feikert. As pryso identified, finding the pivot point can be daunting.
the Linn Ittok is a prime example. On mine it is just at the tip of the bottom leg of the k on the name badge. there is no actual identifier. changing the pointer to a pinpoint light beam helped to better see the spot. also the Feikert beam has a printed scale in millimeters starting at the proper 180 mm to345 mm. for someone who swaps carts/tonearms/ has tone arms on pods or likes to try different effective lengths or curves, the Feikert is a good tool.
