Enjoy the Music.com Turntable
/ Cartridge Protractor
DIRECTIONS: First print out
this page. Then download the JPG file. You can check for the proper image size by
verifying the image with a ruler in inches. The correct aspect ratio is .5527 to 1. Once
the size is verified and correct, please print it out and carefully cut a hole where your
spindle hole should be (the center of the platter). This is easily identified by the
multiple cross hairs supplied. Then simply line up your head shell so that the outlines
"C" on the protractor are aligned parallel with it. Your needle should now be
aligned so that your needle is directly on the "S". Two points are given for an
accurate alignment. What really matters to me is that you enjoy the music.
Due to the tremendous outpouring
of requests for an easy to print version, we are now offering a PDF version!
There are some caveats to this... When printing make sure you set your printer
to "Print as image" and do not have it "Fit to
page". The free Adobe Acrobat
Reader plug-in is needed, though most people already have this
installed within their computer. Please click the below to view and print the
file.
