SME 3009 Series II Improved Vintage HIFI Audiophile Turntable Tonearm

The SME 3009 is one of the most iconic and enduring tonearms in hi-fi history, originally introduced in the early 1960s by SME (Scale Model Equipment Co.) in England.

The SME 3009 Series II Improved, introduced in the mid-1970s, is a refined, lightweight version of the classic SME 3009 designed to complement the high-compliance moving-magnet cartridges popular at the time (such as the Shure V15 Type III and IV). It retains the hallmark SME precision engineering—knife-edge horizontal bearings and finely calibrated counterweight and anti-skate adjustments—but uses a thinner aluminium arm tube and a lighter counterweight assembly.

Condition: 

  • This is a used unit. 

  • Physically this unit is in very good condition for its age. It shows some light wear from use and age. This includes some light scuffs and slight signs of oxidisation. Nothing major at all. There is nothing which detracts from the use or sound of this beautiful tonearm.

  • This sale includes a wiring loom. This also shows some general signs of age, but nothing major. Please see photos. 

  • This tone arm has been tested and is working very well!  

  • The SME 3009 is definitely for people who are experienced with turntables and setting up tone arms. This is because this unit is delicate and require fine precision to set up. We will not be able to remotely help with set up or installation. So please ensure you are confident before purchase or have a technician who can install it for you. (If you are able to visit our store in West Gosford, NSW we could help with set up)

Fit perfectly!
The only complaint was they are shipped rolled up. Have to let them set out in the sun all day to flatten out. They're not rubber! More like a WeatherTech floor mats in a vehicle. Had plastic rivets to mount them to the floor, but wasn't drilling holes in a brand new buggy......

I was kind of skeptical to purchase this grille but ended up pulling the trigger on it , installation was not that hard, the hardest part is to swap the camera attachment to the non camera one , after that everything was a breeze, looks great and the material quality is no different from oem, will do another review after couple of months to give more info on the durability and paint fading ( if there’s any, hope not)

Style: Gloss Black Single Slat, Size: G20(2019-2022)
Another great Amazon buy. Don't let the price or the crazy brand name keep you away. When I took the OEM grill off and compared it to this, it was pretty much spot on. All the clips are located in the right place, fits nice & snug and looks great. The most trouble I had was figuring out how to insert the front camera delete. There are no directions or videos explaining it. Once I concluded there's only one logical direction, I held my breath and applied the force that was needed to snap it into place. After that, it was a breeze (thanks to an unaffiliated YouTube video). Time will tell if it holds up (didn't like the other review that showed paint feeling off after a few weeks; not sure what that's about). If mine does the same, I'll surely update my review. For now, Highly Recommended.

As many things made in China you can't expect not to do anything to them. I had to cut or shave off a bit on the clips to make it work. end results put a smile on my face. Still worth the effort. Just keep that in mind or they will fall off.
