Up for sale is this beautiful SME Series V tonearm.  The original sale fell through so we're putting it up again. The arm comes complete with original box (the large flap is missing on one end), damping fluid, tools, alignment protractor and drilling guide template but NO tonearm cable. As Cardas dealers, there are a few models from them as arm cables that can be ordered with right angle DIN connectors that will compliment this arm nicely. I can work out package pricing if you want to order the cable with the arm. If you're looking at this ad, I'm sure you are already familiar with this arm but feel free to contact us with any questions about it that you might have.
Very light wear on some of the sharp edges on the arm. Normal stuff that's hard to catch in photos but the arm shows beautifully clean.
From the manufacturer's website:

Structurally inert the Series V embodies every worthwhile feature in a pick-up arm. As part of a complete system working in concert with a comparable turntable and cartridge it will provide wide range transparent reproduction of vinyl L.P's, bringing the listener audibly closer to the clarity and dynamics of the original performance.


  • Unique one-piece pressure die-cast tone-arm utilising the advantages of magnesium, replace conventional fabricated construction.

  • Internal constrained layer damps minute residual vibration leaving the tone-arm acoustically inert. Fine machined cartridge platform, enamel free to avoid interface resonance.

  • A Stainless steel cross shaft, ground and thread ground. Carried in massive yoke on 10mm ball races. Axis at record mean level to minimise warp-wow.

  • Dynamic balance graduated vertical tracking force (VTF) control applies 0-3g x 0.125g through resonance controlled spring.

  • Unique assembly gives high rigidity and allows bearings to be critically adjusted before tone-arm is fitted.

  • Stainless steel vertical shaft, ground and thread ground, with integral 16mm diameter flange to couple shaft and yoke.

  • 23mm diameter steel pillar, heat treated, ground and honed, carries two 17mm ball races, widely spaced to resist tilt.

  • Anti-skate control operates through tension spring and filament. Dial corresponds with VTF and has positive OFF position.

  • Lowering/raising control gives smooth positive action. Height of lift can be adjusted.

  • Subsonic lateral mode fluid damper can be instantly adjusted or cancelled.

  • Dual-lock base provides movement control with high rigidity.

  • Tungsten-alloy balance weight carried on damped two-point suspension. Extra-low inertia design assists warp riding.

  • Underslung weight housing corrects centre of gravity and provides non-reflective tone-arm termination. Adjustment leadscrew journalled in twin ball races with lever clamping.

  • Swivelling damped output socket minimises vibration transmission in sub-chassis use.

  • Fine adjustment of arm height (VTA).

  • Reference lines on tone-arm facilitate VTA setting.

  • Fine adjustment of horizontal tracking angle (HTA).

  • New design alignment protractor sets HTA with greater accuracy.

  • Advanced jig/template system guarantees correct positioning.
