RB300 VTA adjustment on Nottingham Horizon

I recently purchased a Nottingham Horizon and an RB300 from separete sellers and am now trying to set VTA on the arm after installation - how in the heck is this accomplished?

The screw-threads on the base of the arm will not extend far enough down.

Has anyone out there experiecned this?

I've got a virtually new setup that I can't use - this stinks!

Any assistance is way welcomed!

Thanks,
Mark

Ballywho,
I'm not familiar with the Horizon, but Expressimo Audio sells an extended nut that fits the Rega threads and gives you about an inch more length to work with. That might help.

I've seen the Teres VTA adjuster on Cello's table with a Basis Vector. It's well made and operates very smoothly. CB should know whether it could be used on a Horizon.

The only niggle is that the knob you turn to adjust arm height is beneath the armboard, where the Rega locking nut would be. The scale you read for repeatability is also underneath. That's no big deal on a Teres because the open armboard makes it easy to see/work beneath the arm mount. How easy that would be to use on a Horizon I'm not sure.
