SME 3009-S
Not much information survives on the SME 3009-S, and the record has no model under exactly that name. The closest period listings are for the SME 3009 Series II Improved, often written "3009/S2 improved." Whether "3009-S" was shorthand for that arm is not confirmed by what's on file. An Audio classified ad (October 1976, p.149) offered a used "SME 3009/S2 improved" at $105. High Fidelity (1980, p.99) listed the 3009 Series II Improved among tonearms at $162, with a 9-inch pivot-to-stylus length. Past those mentions, no design details, production dates or proper reviews specific to the 3009-S have surfaced. Effective mass, VTF range and antiskate arrangements are not documented here.
