I have my 309 arm since 1999 and it came in the black and white box.
SME 309 Tonearms: Production Years and Variations
Hello, could you please help me clarify the production years of the SME 309 tonearms? As you can see in the photos, the outer boxes have different logo colors, the serial numbers vary significantly, and the writing on the tonearm tube is either “tonearm” or “tone-arm.” I would greatly appreciate any information you can provide.
