Very nice SME 3012R tonearm that works perfectly, serial no. 13355R. The box is not in great shape, but everything isincluded, such as right handed and left handed tonearm rest, instruction book, mounting template, alignment protractor, warranty card, and extra tonearm weight. Cosmetically, I would give it a 8/10 mostly for age; functionally its a 10/10. I used this tonearm with a ZYX cart onmy Micro Seiki RX-5000 and it sounded fantastic.

A few year back, the cable was on the blink so I had it fixed by a dear friend and expert cable guy, Lee Weiland, who passed away a few years ago (God rest his soul). In the cable, SME had put a paper and oil cap that had dried out from age. I had Lee remove the cap, so its now just a straight wire cable. It is still in the sealed bag from Lee.

Also, when I bought this tonearm, the rubber grommets on the mounting plate were seriously degraded, so I bought and installed an OEM set.

I will ship this to anywhere in the U.S. for $40.00flat using EMS, fully insured, overnight service.I don\'t know why this listing says free international shipping - it is not free, so please ignore that.

As is/noreturns only because I cannot allow someone to play with it, break it and then try to send it back to me.

offer with confidence - my response is 100%.
