SME 3009R: anything to watch out for when buying s/h?
I was just offered an SME 3009R and would like to know what sort of things to look out for if I go to have a look at it.
1) Potential issues with s/h SME 3009R tonearms?
2) The bearing: nylon --> steel --> bronze - which is the best?
3) Tonearm base material?
4) Would it be a good match for my Benz Micro Gullwing SLR even on my Thorens TD 147 Jubilee?
Thanks!
Here are a few photos sent to me by the seller who has it mounted on a Micro Seiki DQX 500:
