Rega RB300 Tonearm alignment protractor

I spent hours searching for a proper Rega RB300 Tonearm alignment protractor that I can get my hands on without having to wait 2 weeks for international shipment.
All I cound find was this :

The problem is that 2 different printers gave 2 different scales of this protractor and I do not know which is correct.
I would expect a printable protractor to specify the correct distance between 2 points in the drawing...

Anybody can link to a good protractor ?

Hmmm...interesting.
So you guys are saying that this 80$ strobe light is not needed ? Why would people design this complicated device that has 2 integrated circuits if it's not needed ?
I'll try incandescent light or led light and report as soon as I get home...

I tried to get the protractor from vinylengine but they don't allow me to login after I register and you must login if you want to download the protractor.
Maybe they see my IP (Israel) as a security hazard :-(

I need the "original rega protractor (en)"
from here : http://www.vinylengine.com/ve_downloads/index.php?rega/rega_template.pdf

If anybody can send it to me, I would be grateful.

I downloaded various turntable strobe discs for 50hz and I see nothing but grey circles when turntable is running.
I think it's because I have to use this device which I don't have :

Does anybody know of more affordable options ? After all, it's not going to be used so often...

"Umm, to make money? ;)"
LOL !!!!!!!!

OK...I got home and tried both incandescent and lED light.
LED didn't work but incandescent worked perfect.
I definitely see the lines now. They are almost stationary. Not completely stationary because I remember my dealer once told me that my speed is about 5% faster that 33.3
I changed the speed to 45 and now the circle of the 45 is almost stationary.

Thank you guys !
