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)

Perfect size, high quality
Size: 7.7" x 7.7" x 1.7", Color: Black (Metal Silvered)
I had a previous catch all tray that I bought on amazon, it used buttons on the 4 corners to turn a flat cardboard into a tray. Over time, the catch all tray got filled up, not just with a wallet, keys and eyeglasses but eventually business cards and other knick knacks. With all the items inside the tray, sometimes the buttons would start to pop out. It wasn't awful, more of an annoyance. But it was time for me to find a more durable tray. I looked on amazon and added 6 different trays that had "potential" into my shopping cart. Then I carefully evaluated each one and deleted them out of my cart until there was only one left. Some had multiple compartments. Some were larger than this one. I felt the ones with compartments would limit my ability to put the things I want in there. Also, I didn't want it so big that it took up too much desk space. Ultimately, I felt this was the perfect size. I'm extremely happy with it, the quality is really nice and it looks and feels durable. No more loose buttons and spilled knick knacks.

Keeps clutter away
Size: 7.7" x 7.7" x 1.7", Color: Black (Metal Silvered)
This works great to corral all my notes I write on post its or small notes. Keeping them hidden from the desk top b/c or the depth but still visible to me. Much better than keeping on the plotter. Looks great in quality .

Attractive, Simple, And Well-Made
Size: 7.7" x 7.7" x 1.7", Color: Orange (Metal Glided)
I use this as a "catchall". A place to stash things like my wallet and keys when I enter the door, so that I don't use them (I had been prone to that!). It serves it's purpose well. It's both sturdy and attractive, and a good size for a "catchall". Recommended for those like me who need such things.
