light source for tt setup


Wondering what light source works the best for setting up a cartridge. Seems like a gooseneck light with a light source that is focused would work the best and I have not found one to purchase. Any suggestions? Thanks

I use a small (one AA battery) LED flashlight, which lies on the platter pointing any direction I choose.

Costs virtually nothing, available virtually everywhere.

A headlamp wouldn't work for me, since I often want the light shining through the stylus toward me. My Magic Eraser wedge makes a handy light diffuser to avoid being blinded by the LEDs.

Simple, cheap, flexible. I can put $50 toward hiring some kid to wash some of these LPs! ;-)
