Title: db systems protractor
Post by: Scroof Neachy on 15 May 2018, 11:53 pm

Is this protractor based on Baerwald, Lofgren B, or Stevenson?

I think it's a 2 point Baerwald protractor.  If you got the time, take a look at this thread from 9 years ago --Cartridge Alignment Tools, Facts and Fiction, A White Paper by Wayner  (https://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=70898.0).  It's a "fun" read.  :popcorn:  I have a linear arm....

I’m kinda’ leaning towards Lofgren B. There don’t seem to be a lot of protractors specific to it out there.

 I too have it; agree it's Baerwald.

I just got a protractor kit from Wayner (associate of AVA) and it’s great. Baerwald, Loefgren B, and Stevenson settings are available. There’s also an overhang thing and a blank record to check anti-skating.
