SME 3009 II Classic Tonearm - REDUCED AGAIN FROM $1,200 NOW Just $599

I am selling this 1963-64 vintage SME 3009 Series II tone arm.  I had purchased this (as well as a brand new SME M2-9R also for sale on this site in a separate ad) to possibly use on my Thorens TD124 but have decided to go all digital and have sold that table and am selling all associated equipment and vinyl.  This particular arm is becoming hard to find.  I have rated the arm an 8 out of 10 since I did find a very tiny ding on the top of the arm (see picture) which is very hard to see and in no way effects the arms geometry or performance.  In addition, I am including two of the vintage head shells which accommodate different types of cartridges due to the different height mounting hardware in the shells.  One of those shells has a small melt mark on the underside where someone must have slipped with a soldering iron but, again, cannot be seen when in use and does not effect performance or mounting.  I had purchased the head shells separately at $225 each (just updated this as I found my receipts). Also included is a wooden TD124 mounting board.  All in all this is an excellent tonearm for someone looking to assemble a complete vintage TD 124 or similar vintage table.  I do not have the original box but the manual is included as pictured.  I (the seller) will pay for shipping in the contiguous 48 states only.  I will also pay the 3% Paypal fee.  The is well protected and double boxed for shipping.  Thank you.
