No both yourself & he is wrong. The series 'III' is a low mass arm that is NOT a 3009

[MCRU]

Whatever

Only trying to help the OP. Anyway may sell my 309 does that qualify?

[Rare Bird]

I know you are, thats good but it had to be pointed out.. The template in the listing is nothing to go by, it's only a universal template for the two model arms.. 'as for your 309'! Im not intrested in the arms they made after the '3009' tbh.

I don't have a link/quote/reference, but I distinctly recall that the SIII long-form name is "SME 3009 Series III." It's a 3009 because it's a 9" (ish) effective length arm.

And I don't have one anymore, more's the pity.

Just to add to the confusion, I thought that Dave (synsei) had/has a series three

Wasn't the series three the one with the fixed headshell, but the detachable tonearm?

Correct.

The Series 3 was the Titanium tubed, ultra low mass, fluid damped arm which didn't sell. It was rapidly replaced by the 309 etc.
