Any source for SME 3009 board OTHER than 'soundsupports'?

I came across a nice SME 3009 S2 Improved arm pretty much by accident recently and am intending to fit it to my Technics SL-1200MK2. The search function didn't turn up very much on this topic other than modifying an armboard from an SL-120.

Is there a source other than 'soundsupports' on eBay for an SME 3009 mounting plate for the SL-1200MK2? My table (as with all MK2s I believe) has 3 screws for attaching the mounting plate (or formerly the original arm).

Do a search on Ebay Uk. Origin Live also has arm boards not sure if there for just there arm or if they sell boards for other arms.
Also if you haven't thought of it do a google search.
Try vinylengine to see if there are any ideas on how to make your own.
Plus SME has it's own website I believe.
 
Origin Live makes armboards for Rega arms only, and I don't think SME themselves ever made armboards for Technics TT's.

I just got an original SL-120Mk2/150Mk2 armboard on eBay (from Soundsupports, actually!). They pop up on from time to time, but the prices varies wildly. I've seen them go for over £60 (got mine for £16, though)! Is it height issues that makes you look for other aftermarket manufacturers? The flat armboard is low enough for most cartridges on SME's if you use the original rubber mat (I've got one of the flat armboards from an SL-120 (Mk1), too).

I'm currently using an SL-120Mk2 with an SME 3009/S2, and an SL-1200Mk2 with a Mayware F4 MkIII in an SME armboard/base :tresbon:
