Hi

My tracking force gauge is conked out... So has anyone got one they wish to sell?

Or any suggestions on the best/cheapest one to use?

Also looking for an alignment protractor.

Thanks

I bought one of these for £3.99 - does the job fine!

I´m using something similar, both looks and price wise.

Just ordered one... thanks chaps.

I'm just in need of some accessories really... Just need a vinyl brush now and maybe a protractor. Although I've used the Vinyl Engine print out jobbie I was wondering what a proper protractor would bring.

Hi Joe, I never get my head around those vinyl engine print-outs and use a Dr Feickert protractor (old version) instead. Found it really useful as the set of tools helped me to set up the tone arm position as well as the cartridge position. I would recommend it but obviously there are also other brands around that you would also like to consider.

Don't forget the mechanical and popular Ortofon gauge too for under a tenner. Accurate, small and easy to store...
