First, just because it was installed by the factory, it does not mean it is right :)..so go to Vinyl engine and get the generic and the rega specific protractors downloaded and printed. Check the cartridge alignement carefully with any and all protractors you can. Some of them will disagree but if you find that more than two of them are correct disregard the ones that are not :). Otherwise you will drive yourself nuts. I would trust the rega specific one the most, the B Kearns arc protractor second and so on.
Once the protractors are exhausted, level the arm so it floats, make sure it floats everywhere freely and it does not get stuck anywhere, or there is no friction from bearings wires, whatever. Then set the VTF at the recommended force. Here comes the tricky part...you need to make sure you stylus is perfectly vertical to the record surface otherwise you will be scraping one side more than the other. If you stylus is not aligned perfectly square to the cartridge body, wou will need to correct for that by changing the azymuth of your cartridge. I assume the arm has a fixed shell, as it looks fixed on all the pictures i have seen, so if your cartridge is out ouf vertical, you will need to fudge it with washers on something. Once you are in correct vertical, then you can start adjusting the AS. I would use a mono record with a female singing voice. The goal is to make the singer as focused dead in the middle as possible. go in small increments and pay attention to the spread of the image. Once you have a good enough image move to a stereo record with a wide image and make sure each sides are in focus, the image is balanced and well defined on both sides. Now check the records that gave you headaches. If you still have tracking errors, increase the tracking weight by an 1/8th of a gram or so. Recheck the AS with the mono record. Repeat you will know when you got it :)
