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)

Good quality shelves
Color: Walnut, Size: 24in, Color: Walnut, Size: 24in
These shelves are gorgeous in person. Yes, they're darker than the listing pics, but I actually prefer it. The grain is beautiful, they came well-packed, and mounting them was no trouble at all. Now I've got display space that feels both stylish and practical. Definitely worth it!

Easy to install, very tough!
Color: White, Size: 16in, Color: White, Size: 16in
Seriously, scoring these shelf stands for $30 feels like an absolute steal! Four chunky wood boards with metal T-brackets that actually feel substantial - way sturdier than those flimsy IKEA ones I used to have. My old cheapo stands warped after half a year, but these hold up like a champ - I've got like 15 heavy textbooks stacked on them right now. Love the little details too: rounded edges so you won't scrape your hands, and rubber grip strips on the bottom. They look legit fancy in my living room as bookshelves and even class up my kitchen herb garden. My friend thought they were some high-end designer furniture! Honestly, the craftsmanship at this price puts my old $60 wooden shelves to shame. Already told my DIY group chat about these - trust me, you can't go wrong!

Worst item ever
Color: White, Size: 16in
Set up shelves and not sturdy at all. Followed the instructions perfectly. Very poorly made. I don’t have the box and now I’m stuck with the item. Garbage can here it comes.
