SME Series III 3009

I just had this tonearm totally rebuilt and rewired by SME3009tonearms.com in Canada for about $1000.  While I was waiting for it to be rebuilt, my plans changed and my system went in a different direction, so now I'm offering it for sale.  I haven't mounted it since it came back from SME3009 about two weeks ago.

Here's their website description of what they consider a rebuild: 
Upon receipt of your SME arm it is completely broken down to its most basic of components.
- All parts are checked for acceptable tolerances.
- All parts are put through a two stage acid bath and then sent through our sonic cleaners.
- Unacceptable parts are discarded & replaced with New Old Stock SME British-made parts.
- All external components are refinished to their brilliant original factory finish, shine & luster.
- The two sets of pillar bearings are extracted and sonically cleaned.

Once this process is completed the re-wiring can begin - 

- We install a double continuous uninterrupted 1.25 meter run of one of the finest Cardas tonearm cables in the world.
- The 4 X 33 Awg Cardas fully shielded Litz Wire 
- Highly shielded through a myriad of shielding processes to safeguard against outside RF interference.
- Thanks to its Litz coating & Golden Section Stranding Conductors it is also one of the most musical tonearm wires in the world.
- Once the arm has been wired it is then terminated at the end of the 1.25 meter run with Neutrik RCA connectors employing a superb strain relief system. 
- We have found these Neutrik connectors to be superior connectors due to the employment of this superb strain relief system.

There's only one issue, which is that the fragile finger lift broke off the headshell in transit to me.  I'll include it but I'm not going to try to re-attach it.

PayPal Family and Friends is preferred.  Please check out the website for more details on the rebuild.  They're great to work with.
