SME III help needed


Hi everyone,

I would very much appreciate to get an advice in the following matter.

I bought a SME 3009 series III tonearm on ebay. When I received it the tag with the model name was missing. I have heard that there is a SME III 3009S which is a simplified model of the original SME III. Could anyone tell me how I could distinguish this simplified S-type from the original series III without the -S.

Many thanks in advance!

The S version lacks the damping trough as a standard feature; it is an option. The S version has simpler counterweight adjustments without the screw trim.
