Sme

Well I am shocked, just been on to the SME website looking for arms, nothing, went into news, and they have announced that with immediate effect that they will no longer be selling arms except with their own turntables . Bob

Think about it it - simple - no middlemen = more profit.

[bob orbell]

So, a turntable with arm for well over £10000, or an arm for about £2500 .

Yes, I had seen this elsewhere. I suppose that with the increased interest in vinyl, they are struggling to meet demand. If they want to keep everything in house (which SME probably do) something has got to give. Who are they going to keep happy, people who want an arm or people who want a complete deck?

Tis a shame though. Not that I could afford a new series 5!

they will supply existing orders but no new ones ..the only
good news they will still support repairs/ spares (not that mine has
ever needed any)

If you want an arm, Dave at MCRU can get you one.
