Arm Heighth on VPI Classic

HELP! Have a Classic 3 and just bought a 200gram lp; so, I'm assuming that I need to adjust arm height for the thicker lp. Classic 3 manual says to make sure to loosen BOTH set screws before making adjustment. For the life of me, I can only find the one black knob on the tower. Where's the second one? Do I turn the tower clockwise to raise the arm and how much turning should I plan on?

Are you telling me that I shouldn't bother adjusting arm height when switching back and forth from 180gram and 200gram vinyl?

Durbin - thanks for catching the error. Should have been more careful, but my furnace went out that morning, my dog got hit by a car, and my wife ran away with my best friend. And if that wasn't enough, I'd just taken delivery of a couple 45rpm lps from Acoustic Sounds and I was concerned about making an adjustment for the thicker 200gram vinyl. In all my excitement, I wasn't watching my spelling. For what it's worth - these lps (Hugh Masekela's Hope and The Doors/The Doors) were my first ever 45rpms. They sound awesome!
