For sale / Swop: SME V tonearm

[Rosewind]

SME V tonearm for sale with original manual (+ extra photo copied copy) and silver tonearm cable (see photo). No box, no finger lift. I will supply a new VTA screw, a new HTA key, a new plastic bush and alignment protractor and a new mounting template for easy set-up of the arm.

The arm is used but in good condition with a slight mark on the arm from the arm rest.

The reason for sale/swap is that I want to fund a Paradise build. I am not at all dissatisfied with it. If it does not sell, I will keep it and go for a less expensive phono stage or mc head amp.

I will ship this arm to the UK for £2000.

How old is the arm? what's the wiring inside, was the arm ever serviced I noticed there is a slight blemish on the screen on the V on the tube how noticeable is this. Do how old the arm is?

[Rosewind]

There is a slight mark from where the armrest grips the arm. I will have to take the arm off to see the seriel number. Then I will call SME tomorrow to enquire sbout age and service history. Other than that the arm neeeds a deep "dusting" while I have removed it from the turntable.

There also appears some lettering has rubbed off probably needs a service but is still a good price considering

[Rosewind]

Serial number (57608) and two shots of lettering + the slight mark left from the armrest grip. I will call SME to hear about the details of the arm.

The mark on the arm from the arm rest is usual for the arm and is nowt to worry about. It's shows the arm has been used that is all. Good luck with the sale/swap.

[Vrajbasi]

Yes the mark on the arm rest is usual, the rubbing off on the V sometimes happens too, with a full service sme usually replace the arm tube in any case.

Nari. You have s nice collection of turntables and arms already, I see! Not to mention the rest of your kit!
The arm doesn't look and feel all that used, but that may just come down to its build quality.
