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?

There are 2 set screws. One is located on the VTA tower pillar and the other is located on the dog leg support which is near the tonearm lift mechanism.

This adjustment should be done using critical listening. I suspect that such a small adjustment is not worth the effort.

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

The best thing about the VPI arm is that it has repeatable VTA adjustment capability. Knock yourself out, only you can determine if it's a worth the effort.
