what are your cartridge set up go to
I own the Nasotec tweezers - gets the job done. Less chance of damaging the clips/cable with my chubby fingers. I've owned the Feickert protractor, but prefer the Acoustical Systems SmarTractor. Its pricey (~650), but worth it IMO. 
THIS GUY TAKES VINYL TO ANOTHER LEVEL!
I enjoyed it. Thanks. 
Great Experience with Feickert Protractor

Questions that Never Die

How do I pay?
I'm going to echo what others have said.  DON'T DO IT!!!  There are plenty of speakers on sale from sellers with feedback.  Be patient.   
At wits' end with radio through the speakers!
