Chakster "i have no idea why people recommend that plastic Mint without PS ruler"
There is a misunderstanding here. The Mint LP is made of glass not plastic and if used correctly it is capable of greater accuracy in my experience than the Feickert, although the latter is very close, close enough in my opinion. As you correctly point out it is a universal protractor and it is considerably easier to use. OTOH, Yip supplies the Mint with two magnifying glasses one of which is lighted, which is a nice touch. For hobbyists with multiple cartridges and/or multiple turntables the Feickert is the most practical option. But for the last word in accuracy the Mint LP is the best in my experience.
As to the point of my original post that all Mint LP protractors are Stevenson, that is not correct as attested to by several respondents here. I stand corrected.
