I had an RP1 when it was introduced. Got one after a 25 year break. When a cart tag broke,the Rega distributor replaced the arm with a 250 which was a nice upgrade. It still had the cheap plastic end stub for the weight, but the arm assembly is of better quality compared to the stockarm.1piece compared to the bonded head shell of the RP1. Regarding tracking force- time to get a scale. I can't remember exactly, but I think you simply pushed the weight back /forward to adjust ?
Take your time with the swap, it's not complicated and pretty straight forward. Careful with the 3 screw holes as the plinth is low quality(price relative) which can get ruined. Or, if you want to get your tweak on, you can drill out the holes and replace the wood screws with nut/bolt for a real secure connection to the plinth.The RP1 is a fun table for the money.
