I bought this second hand about 12 years ago and it came from an estate sale.  So no original boxes, etc.  I changed the belt and set the suspension and have used it happily ever since.  It has no mechanical issues.  Two of the cartridge leads need to be soldered back on the wires or you can just pin the wires to the cart with free leads, like I've done.
The dust cover came pretty scratched up so I gave it a slew more scratches to give it a uniform look.  No cracks or chips.  The veneer has just the small imperfections at the corners and is not peeling anywhere.  
The SME does not have the detachable headshell option. The weight configuration resembles the Improved line.  All the features on it seem to me to work fine.   I don't have the exact allen key needed to make the VTA adjustment, so I cannot speak for that, as I've never changed it.  
I'm not including the cartridge.  The sale is just for the turntable and tonearm.

The deck and tonearm sold for about $750 new, in 1984, according to the bluebook.  So I've set the price there.
