An amazing example of this super collectable tonearm - the very first version of the famous SME 3012.  It has the original packing (but not the box) and even the original instructions, not a reprint!  The arm looks almost unused however the headshell is showing signs of having a cartridge mounted in the past.   Please use the pictures as a guide as to what is or is not included and the condition.

The bearings work fine and everything runs smoothly.  I can't imagine a better example of this arm available for sale anywhere other than the refurbished example on SMEs own site.

Being auctioned with no reserve (as I can't find any recent sales of this earliest example to work out a fair price) so you will have one shot at buying this arm only.  Goodluck.

Free insured shipping to anywhere in the world.  Pickup from my home in Templestowe, Victoria (Australia)  is welcome too.
