When setting the VTA, getting the bottom of your cartridge level with the record surface is your usual starting point. If it’s leaning too far forward at minimum height, a spacer is a great idea. A tiny rule or paper gauge can be handy to measure the front and back of the cartridge body, but most of the time you can work by eye. But! If you really want to tinker with VTA, you should use a magnifying glass and look at the needle itself. At recommended force, the diamond tip should be somewhere near a 92 degree angle leaning forward. Not very difficult if you can see it. Once you are here, you can adjust by ear a little, if you like. Who said record players were no fun?

That looks suspiciously like an OEM badged Jelco HS-25, which is made from a magnesium alloy and costs just £45 from https://www.divineaudio.co.uk/jelco-hs25-headshell

You are exactly right, it's identical! My dad pointed it out to me just after I'd bought it
Never mind, it's been posted now.
