SME 3009 Series II Tonearm - Earliest Version - Split Counterweight, RCA Output

This is the very, very first version of the SME Series II tonearm although it's been modified a couple of times. How does this differ from other SMEs? Well, it has the two part counterweight but when this was made, the end counterweight was capped so it couldn't move up the stub - somebody has changed it so it will but there's still a bit of material showing its original form and some marking on the inside. You can't blame the former owner - SME realised pretty quickly this was a stupid idea and all subsequent counterweights had a hole all the way through them. What else is different? There's no restraining ring on the pillar bearing, there's no screw to limit azimuth adjustment at the headshell, the stub is hollow on the end, the screws that hold the yoke on are flat rather than slightly domed and the raise/lower lever boss is the same as the Series 1 - I think this is more attractive than the later one. The serial number is just over 7,000. Recently it was terminated with RCA sockets at the base to make it more versatile. I know this is deviating from originality but fortunately it's "below deck" so it doesn't detract from the original look. Also, it's a better idea. It's in excellent cosmetic condition and full working order except the raise/lower mechanism. It lowers slowly but it won't stay in the vertical position. I don't know if this is a worn part or whether it needs cleaning but it's still completely useable. As you can see it comes with both rider weights as well as a very attractive, period-correct, solid SME headshell. There's a metal plate in there which may not be original but it's very well done if it isn't. I've a nice strong box to put it in and I'm happy to ship it anywhere in the world. Worldwide prices are on the listing - they all include full insurance and tracking where available. Collection in person, if convenient, is welcome.
