SME 312, 12-INCH TONEARM, REMOVEABLE HEADSHELL
This tonearm is USED. It is branded ‘JR Transrotor’ as shown in the photos, but still has ‘SME’ shown on the counterweight, and the headshell has ‘312’ stamped into its side (not shown in the photo). The condition of the arm is rated 8, but most people would rate it a 9. The headshell has one minor scuff/scratch mark on its top surface as shown in the photo, so I am rating this item a 6. You can either refinish it, or if it really bothers you, buy another.
I bought this with the intention of adding a second arm/cart/phono section to my turntable, but as with many ‘plans’, this never materialized. I decided that a single arm/cart/phono amp was enough for me (audio nervosa at its finest!).

WHAT’S INCLUDED
As you can see from the photos, the arm comes in the OEM shipping carton, so safe arrival should not be a concern. Included are:

3) Installation instructions
4) Full-size arm mounting template
5) Cartridge alignment protractor

SHIPPING
