Spares are only available as a service for customers. I don't sell single parts or spares of the kit alone. These kits can be customized with extra components (like weights, the steel saddle or internal cabling) on further request.
Update 2021: Complete Kits with 160g weight are not any longer available! Only a few kits are left with 220g weight! More or less I will keep the last parts for customer conversion admissions!!
If you are interested send me a mail with inquiery about your needs. Within this combinations it is absolutely necessary fit a steel saddle (original or mine) to the tube instead of the later types (vinyl type, aftermarket brass products) in order to broaden the aimed effect. These cartridges have a very low compliance below 10x10-6cm and profit enormously from the heavy tube. This conversion of SME tonearms is offered to optimize the physical conditions for the low compliance type cartridges like Ortofon SPU, EMT Tondose, Neumann DST, Denon DL103, Ikedas and Koetsus other arms don't offer. The counterweight tube with silicon damping element and stuffing cap are part of a kit and all dedicated screws will complete it. As well included is one main weight with end cap and the riderweight. I offer the conversion kits to interested people on a diy-level, alternatively I will be happy to offer the doing of such conversion process on request.Ī kit contains the tonearm wand with extension tube and internal silicon rubber damping, a balsa wood lining for the main tube. I tried my best to get the widest possible range of adaptable SME models working without any substancial change with my kit ( see seperate compatibility list for conversions). With this kit I introduce to all owners of classic SME Tonearms the opportunity to convert several models into the sonically unsurpassed 3012 MK1 version with all necessary components.
