[FS / SWAP] SME 3009R - fully original arm inspected by Danish dealer

[Rosewind]

Now for sale for 600£ or swap involving:

- an mm/mc cart with low hours
- small, fast subwoofer that will work with Quad ESL 57s or Magnepan DWM woofer panel
- Leak Stereo 20 (in good working order) or similar vintage power amp (Radford, Quad)
- MC headamp

This arm has been verifies as being genuine by the former Danish importer of SME - only the two finger screws on the counter-weight and the finger screw on the side rider are non-standars. See this photo of the whole counter-weight assembly:

This is tonearm that I received as part of a trade with a Trilogy 907 phono stage. It is in very nice condition.

I have no SME box for it, nor a manual or set-up guide. It comes with what can be see in the pictures as well as a basic Ortofon SME-type headshell and an armbase - possibly for a Thorens. Included is an umbraco key and the 4 screws for mounting it. Serial number is 20XXXR.

Having paid to have it confirmed as genuine and in full working order, I would now like 600£ for it shipped in a nice soft box to a place near you. PayPal friend/family please.

Don't be shy. I cannot find any use for this tonearm, so I would swap you for something that I can actually use:
- a great mm/mi/mc cartridge that would work really well on my Empire 698
- a very good MC headamp (Arkless or vintage Gryphon no problem)
- a Benz Micro Lukascheck phono stage or another mm stage sure to better the Rod Elliot one in my DCB1
- a Nait 2 or Nait 1 (wold be interesting to try it with my Quad ESL 57s)
- A Leak Stereo 20
- Magnepan MC1 wall-mountable speakers (small and great)
- a very transparent gain stage with around 6db gain that would be a perfect shoe-in with my DCB1
- anything else that I did not know I needed?
