  Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions
I'm contemplating the purchase of this brand of protractor.

Over the years I have relied on a good friend to mount cartridges and set up the few tables that I have owned in the past.
Relying on someone else to do this was for good reason.

I would never make it as a watch maker or any other profession that requires a fine touch and skill with steady hands.
The time has come where I will have to do this totally on my own.

My question to you owners of the Feickert protractor is what is your experience with it regarding ease of use and accuracy compared to other protractors?

Secondly, the disk has strobe markings for speed set up, does the Feickert package come with a strobe light for the $250. selling price?

I asked these question of a dealer sent via a e-mail and have not received a reply as of yet.

Thank you for your replies.

So Graham Engineering refined the Phantom and the target plate on the jig....
Sirspeedy I bet your ready to explode with excitement now that your system is back on line.

My experience was similar to Downunders use of the original Phantom jig, I also got it very close to spot on.

However the Mint proved my sight line using the jig was off.
Somewhere above in this thread I did mention the lack of a reference point mark/ cross hair for the stylus on the target plate of the Phantom jig.

Anyway it doesn't matter now, I'm in pig heaven.
