SME IIIs Tonearm now sold
The rest of the list is still available.
Also, I am minded to sell my Ortofon 2M Black cartridge, since I seem to much prefer moving coils nowadays. It has around 500 hours on it and comes with its original packaging. The little clip holding the stylus guard on has broken, but the cartridge body and stylus are perfect. I'm happy to let anyone inspect the (beautifully shaped) tip using my Olympus microscope if they wish, but it's not possible to take pictures as I don't have a camera adapter for the microscope. New, these things cost £460. Anyone care to offer £260?
