I own two P9/RB1000 TTs. All installations have been performed "in situ", as you put it. One arm is mated with a Rega Apheta; the other with an Ortofon Jubilee. Both installations went well - - - no problems. Personally, I would be hesitant to remove the arm for cartridge installation - - unnecessarily complicates matters and poses a risk of damage to the arm.
rega RB1000 changing cartridges
I've just bought a second hand RB1000 on a P9 table and wonder how most people change cartridges. Is it better to remove the arm (is this easy?)or do it in situ? The person I bought it from said his dealer did it in situ and I know some Linn dealers do although as far as I know Linn do not endorse this practice. But maybe Rega bearings are better? Your thoughts will be most appreciated.
