Description from the seller


For Sale: SME 3009 Series III Tonearm – Mint Condition, Boxed, with ADC Cartridge & Original Receipt

A rare opportunity to own a mint-condition SME 3009 Series III, originally produced in the late 1970s to early 1980s—making this example around 45 years old. Despite its age, it remains in exceptional cosmetic and operational condition. The original SME box is included (a little battered with age), along with the original purchase receipt, adding great provenance for collectors.

Also included is an ADC cartridge. The stylus is used, suitable for testing and casual playback, while the cartridge body is ideal for fitting with a fresh stylus to unlock its full performance.

Highlights:

Mint-condition SME 3009 Series III tonearm

Approx. 45 years old

Comes with original SME box (worn but intact)

Please see the detailed photographs provided as they form part of the description please note the condition of the box sadly a bit tattered but it did its job perfectly in protecting the ARM.
What you see in the pictures is what you will receive.

Please note that we pack with our custom double box and bubble wrap system and we pack for the safety of the item not for economy
Please note there are no garantees on vintage electronic equipment and these items might need a technician to service it once in a while to protect it and your investment.
