It looks like a small plastic mirrored school ruler but with markings to suit lining up cartridge rather than length measurement. Hope this helps. **Q: will it work for 45 records** A: As far as I am aware it's for lining up the cartridge/stylus which when set is in alignment for all records. Would HATE to have to change every time I played a 7, 10 or 12 inch record - That would be as annoying as predictive text! **Q: Is this protractor good to use for a 12-inch arm, please? Thansk!** A: yes - it gives the zero distortion positions for two points on the tracking arc. if you align the cartridge to be parallel to the guide at those two points it doesnt matter what length arm you use. it does depend on you fitting the arm at the correct spindle to pivot distance which will be stated in the arms mounting instructions. - nice to have a 12inch arm --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nl/products/48279093-mirrored-cartridge-alignment-protractor-hi-fi-choice-recommend](https://www.desertcart.nl/products/48279093-mirrored-cartridge-alignment-protractor-hi-fi-choice-recommend) --- *Product available on Desertcart Netherlands* *Store origin: NL* *Last updated: 2026-11-01*
