SME series iii

Hi Gents,

Been a long long time since I had a TT setup.

I have a 3009 series iii arm, but don't know if it is an earlier or later version. The headshell of mine has more holes vs another iii and headshell I recently saw. Will this identify the earlier vs later version?

Also, I see that the earlier uses 60 mm vs the later which uses 66 mm and 121 mm setting protractor.

Enjoy the Music has one that is 70 mm and 127 mm. Is the mm very critical? I am mounting a cartridge on an STD turntable, sme series iii arm.

Cheers and thanks.

I think the one with the most holes is the latest version. Yes, this identifies the version.
The choice of 70mm vs 60mm (etc) isn't critical, what is critical is to have both null points (inner and outer) perfectly aligned.

PS: Make sure to use a condom while operating that STD turntable.
