SME - 3009 S2 improved Tonearm for turntable

Highly sought-after among vintage audio collectors, this tonearm rarely appears on the market in functional condition, making it a piece that instantly attracts attention at auction. The lightweight yet rigid arm design and precision bearing structure deliver exceptional soundstage stability and resolution.

A timeless classic that has garnered high praise since the 1970s, its major appeal lies in its compatibility with virtually any player. Authenticity The tonearm shows original Victor/JVC construction, with factory machining and components consistent with the manufacturer’s design. Appearance This unit was acquired from an audio collector and has been carefully preserved over the years. The exterior shows only slight signs of use due to age and is in good condition. No major scratches or structural damage. The arm tube retains a clean metallic shine and the base components show normal vintage wear. Please refer to the photos for detailed condition. Functionality Tested. Both channels output correctly, tracking is stable, the lifter descends smoothly, and height adjustment works properly. As with all vintage audio mechanisms, a professional overhaul is recommended for long-term use. Only basic operation has been tested; other functions are not covered by warranty. Accessories Everything shown in the photos is included. [Shipping] - Estimated delivery time: Approximately 1 week (may vary by country/region) - Packaging: We will carefully pack your order using protective materials. - Customs duties/import fees may apply depending on the country.
