Knife bearing screw/nut removed (If anyone here has worked on these arms then you know that to get it back is a PITA).This is an early example of the SME 3009 SII with a lowly serial number of #3045 I took one look at the arm and could see that the arm had been fettled with (that, and the plastic bag with 'parts' in). New design alignment protractor sets HTA with great accuracy.Someone (through someone) approached me recently to have a look at his SME arm that was not sounding right. Reference lines on tone-arm facilitate VTA setting.įine adjustment of horizontal tracking angle (HTA). Swivelling damped output socket minimises vibration transmission in sub-chassis use. Adjustment leadscrew journalled in twin ball races with lever clamping. Underslung weight housing corrects centre of gravity and provides non-reflective tone-arm termination. Extra-low inertia design assists warp riding. Tungsten-alloy balance weight carried on damped two-point suspension. Height of lift can be adjusted.ĭual-lock base provides movement control with high rigidity. Lowering/raising control gives smooth positive action. Dial corresponds with VTF and has positive OFF position. SME Series IV-D (Detachable Head-shell) £2967.00Īnti-skate control operates through tension spring and filament. Stainless steel vertical shaft, ground and thread ground, with integral 16mm diameter flange to couple shaft and yoke.Ģ3mm diameter steel pillar, heat treated, ground and honed, carries two 17mm ABEC 7 ball races, widely spaced to resist tilt. Unique assembly gives high rigidity and allows bearings to be critically adjusted before tone-arm is fitted. Axis at record mean level to minimise warp-wow. Carried in massive yoke on 10mm ABEC 3 ball races. Stainless steel cross shaft, ground and thread ground. Internal constrained layer damps minute residual vibration leaving the tone-arm acoustically inert.įine machined cartridge platform, enamel free to avoid interface resonance. Unique one-piece pressure die-cast tone-arm utilising the advantages of magnesium, replaces conventional fabricated construction. The Series IV is a worthy relative of ‘the best pick-up arm in the world’ with a sonic performance reflecting the care and attention to detail underlying its design and manufacture. Although presented at a lower price it retains the unique one-piece magnesium tone-arm, dual-lock base and other advanced features listed. The Series IV precision pick-up arm owes much to the technology developed for the acclaimed Series V.
