Has anyoe had problems using the mint LP tractor

Having read the responses I now understand that I made several fundamnetal errors...............these I can correct, don't know about the eyesight though I may have to enlist the help of mrs. wes or even junior wes to act as back up !!! will keep you posted when I have another attempt, probably the next free rainy day I have, which I suspect, living in Ireland, will not be far away!!

Tvad.......the problem was with the second part of the process. I just could not seem to pick up the knack of holding the magnifying glass and determining whether or not the cantilever was straight or lying at an angle. When I give it a second go I will move the table to a brighter spot.Do you look at the cartridge 'head on' or from above?

Thanks for the comments...................as I suspected my inexperience and poor eyesight!! I will let you know how I get on after my next attempt.

I had my second attempt a few days ago, took on board most of the comments and tips and had a better result. The greatest help was doing the whole thing in my brightly lit Kitchen and with the turntable on one of the kitchen units, which sits at 900mmm high (approx. 35 1/2")more at eyelevel when I sat in a chair. A great improvement over my first attempt. Practice does make perfect and I will go through the process again in a week or so.............oh and buy the way If you leave the wine until after your finished it also helps!!
