Setting up Rega RB300


Hello A-goners,

I recently purchased a basis 1400 with rb300 arm from a fellow A-goner. However, I didn't get a manual for the RB300
tonearm. I checked Regas website and they do not offer much information and they suggest that you go through an authorized dealer. (Not sure how helpful a dealer would be with a table purchased on A-gon).

Does anyone know where I could get a copy of a manual for the RB300? I'm trying to set the overhang with a universal protracter and you need the effective length to do so. (I suppose I could measure this or purchase a wally tractor to set the overhang)

Thanks!

I got a mirrored protractor from turntable basics.

Works for me. A great tip I got from another forum is to tape a sewing needle to the side of the cartridge (provided it's parallel to the cantilever) and this makes it much easier to sight the alignment.
