MintLP/Dynavector 17D3 question

For those who have set up a 17D3 using the MintLP...

I recently purchased a 17D3 for my Scout. I set up the alignment this weekend using the MintLP and had a hard time seeing where the stylus touches the MintLP due to the short cantilever. Of course my 50 year old eyes didn't help.
For anyone experienced with this, what size/power of loupe did you use and do you have any other suggestions?

I have just re-done my Scout/Dynavector XX2MKII with my 62 year old eyes. I use a combination of the 4x lighted glass, or a 10x loupe with all the lighting I can muster in the room, plus a mini Maglite to shine directly where needed. For some views, the 4x works better, for others, the 10x does the job. Whatever helps me to see what I need to at the time is what I use. If one won't do it, I reach for the other one. On the 10x loupe, I remove the plastic extension from the bottom, so I can get closer with the lens. Not easy on us old guys, but it sure is worth it!

Best of luck,
Dan
