The SME 3012-R 12-inch Vintage Hi-Fi Turntable Tonearm - Made In The UK

The SME 3012-R is a 12-inch tonearm manufactured by SME (Scale Model Equipment Co.) in the UK. It is part of the 3000 Series tonearms and is designed for use with turntables requiring a separate tonearm assembly.

The arm features a detachable headshell system, allowing compatibility with a wide range of phono cartridges. It is constructed as a standalone tonearm unit for installation into suitable plinths and turntable systems.

The 3012-R represents a later version of the 3000 Series, produced during the late 1970s through the 1980s, and is configured as a 12-inch arm for use in analog playback setups.


Condition:

  • This is a used unit.

  • Physically this unit is in good condition for its age. It shows some sign of light wear from use and age like some light surface oxidisation. Overall it is still a nice piece.

  • This sale includes a SME wiring loom. This also shows some general signs of age, but nothing major. Please see photos.

  • This tone arm has been tested and is working very well!

  • The 3012-R is definitely for people who are experienced with turntables and setting up tone arms. This is because this unit is delicate and require fine precision to set up. We will not be able to remotely help with set up or installation. So please ensure you are confident before purchase or have a technician who can install it for you. (If you are able to visit our store in West Gosford, NSW we could help with set up)

  • This sale is for the tonearm and cable pictured. Nothing else is included in this sale.
