Sumiko Premier MMT Arm VTA?

I have an AR ES–1 TT with a Sumiko Premier MMT arm with a Sure V–15V MR cartridge which is a good match with no VTA adjustment needed. This arm has no VTA adjustment but I have been told there is a conversion kit for my arm to upgrade to a VTA adjustable unit.Is this so and where can I get one? I might want to change cartridge types and would probably need to adjust the VTA. If not what are my options?(shims) Any suggestions or contact information would be helpful.Thanks

Viridian is right, but the access to the set-screw adjustment is hidden unless you know where to look. Look at the outer rim of the MMT's mounting base, about 30 degrees counter-clockwise from the cue device indentation -- you'll find an unmarked HOLE. The adjustment can be accessed by an Allen (5/64, I think) wrench. Caution, the arm will drop as soon as you loosen the set-screw.
Best of luck,
Joe
