    Free Two Point Alignment Protractor

    NOTE: New Canadian distributor PLUS Adobe PDF file


    This protractor tool is used for your vinyl turntable to
    insure proper alignment of the cartridge on your tonearm.
    This version is printed on a high quality cardboard sheet 4
    inches wide by 7 inches long (DL or a C5 envelope for my
    European and overseas friends). All i ask is that you send
    your request with a self addressed stamped envelope that
    will fit the protractor to the dude nearest to you. Below is
    the listing of the locations where it is available for FREE:

    Rudy and Gary and Dan,

    Yes Rudy, was on Cserve many years ago. Still have a membership... In fact have not been there for what seems to be Eons. Spoke with Dawn Gordon the other day on the phone. She is doing well with her own custom home install biz.


    Gary, our friend in the great White North is there to help. Buy the guy some pizza for me will you :) .

    Dan, glad the version your printed works well. Be fine-tuning it all for YEARS now to make the p[protractor as accessible as possible. Still surprised folks pay $15 or so for the same thing.

    Rudy,

    PS: Chris Boylan now writer for us, E. Brad Meyers is still in the industry writing about it in his spare time. Sylvain Giguère is still in Canada playing with great vintage gear. i generally keep in touch with many of the old school CEAUDIO folks.

    Enjoy the Music,

    Haven't e-mailed Brad in years! He bought a DAT deck of mine way back then. I've seen Marc Wielage's name here and there, but haven't contacted him in years either. Lots of good folks there! I bailed out of CS when AOL officially took over. I was a sysop in Music/Arts for a couple of years, but got tired of the politics, bickering and censorship. :mad: (Didn't help that the internet became popular and everyone started leaving in droves.)

    Good old days, mah frien'! :D Sounds like your business is doing well these days. Good to hear from you!

    Hey guys,
    I printed out the free pdf version of the cartridge alignment tool but I'm not exactly sure how to use it.
    Can someone give me a quick layman's "how to" on cartridge alignment?:confused:
    Thank you in advance!
