SME 3010-R Vintage HIFI High Quality Audiophile Turntable Tonearm

The SME 3009 was first introduced in the early 60's. It became a very popular tonearm, and is still highly regarded and sort-after by turntable enthusiasts all over the world!

The manufacture of SME 3009 Series II Precision Pick-up Arms ended in 1972. In response to many requests to reintroduce them for professional and enthusiast hi-fi application SME  produced the Models 3012-R, 3010-R and 3009-R. They are basically similar to their classic predecessors but with important refinements. This sale is for the 3010-R.

Crafted from thin-walled stainless steel, the 3010-R features a new design balance system with longitudinal and lateral fine adjustment. 

Optimised for 12” records, this tonearm offers exceptional geometry for accurate tracking. Manufactured primarily for the Japanese turntable market, it delivers outstanding performance and reliability.

Similar to the SME 3009-R Tonearm but with a longer length, and akin to the SME-3012-R Tonearm with an even longer reach, the SME 3010-R stands as a testament to precision engineering and unmatched quality in audio playback.

Sturdy and easy to hang. Look nice. One of the set screw holes was off by 1-1/2” so I had to drill a new one, that wasn’t ideal.

Nice looking but bad quality and defects
Color: White, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 60 inches, Color: White, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 60 inches
Shelves look nice, but not great quality and one of my shelves came crooked (installed it perfectly level). Also has defects around the edges. Already installed so don’t want to rip off wall and return, but would like if they sent a couple new replacements at no charge. Keep you posted if that happens.

Sturdy, Stylish, and Easy to Install Floating Shelf
Color: White, Number Of Shelves: 1, Size: 35.4 inches, Color: White, Number Of Shelves: 1, Size: 35.4 inches
This floating shelf looks great and feels very sturdy once installed. It’s stable, fits securely on the wall, and holds plenty of items without issue. I measured beforehand, and it fits perfectly in the space I needed. The hardware was included, and assembly was quick and easy—I had it up in just a couple of minutes. The quality is excellent, and the clean design adds a nice touch to the room. Highly recommend!
