In Reply to: Wally Tractor Universal... is it worth it? posted by MannyE on September 27, 2016 at 10:02:59:
Looks like Manny found his answer, but for any others looking for cartridge set up tools I offer this option.
The Dennesen Geometric Soundtracktor was I believe the first alignment tool of this type. The Wally Tractor and Feickert are both later refinements. The Dennesen is long out of production but both metal and (less expensive) plastic versions come on the used market from time to time, and for quite a bit less than the current models.
I was fortunate to find a metal Dennesen years ago just as they were being discontinued. After years of using arc protractors (up to and including the DB Systems) it has been a pleasure to find the simplicity and accuracy of the Dennesen. The one caution -- the tonearm must have some means of identifying the exact pivot point, not all arms do. To take advantage of the accuracy of this type device, locating the pivot point is critical. I've never used a Wally or Feickert but they appear to have the same requirement. Avoiding the back-and-forth process of aligning to the two marks on an arc protractor is truly appreciated.
