cartridge alignment?

so i have everything i need finally to get my 1st system up and running, yet, i have nothing to align my cartridge with, and i have no idea what to get. when i talked to the guy at united home audio, he mentioned a wallytractor, or something to that effect, but said it was like 300 bucks, where i was looking to spend around 50. if anybody could make a suggestion in that price range it would be greatly appreciated

well, its an old jvc a-l31, dont know the arm length. the vta isnt adjustable on my deck, so im not worried about that. its one of the thinner straight arms though. my cartridge is a audio technica of some sort. i know its probably not a great cart, but im just getting started here, so i went cheap. and i didnt want to spend more on a cart than i did on the deck itself (i paid 40 bucks for the deck, used in great condition, very clean)

ahh, i have heard that before, and sounds like a plan. all ive heard alot about is actually alligning the cart, as far as overhang goes and stuff. what about azmiuth? that i have no clue on how to go about or what its purpose is.
