SME Tonearm Question

I bought a brand new (NOS) SME 20/2 and IV.Vi tonearm and there was no tonearm cable in the box, even though the list of contents in the user manual states that one is included.

Can anyone here tell me whether it's actually included with their tonearms?  The dealer is telling me it is not.

Thanks

The SME IV.Vi was an arm made for SUMIKO when they were the distributors.  From what I know that arm did not include a cable,  but all other SME arms came with a cable.

SME IV-Vi is not the same as SME IV.  SME IV-vi  was is SUMIKO exclusive

It's a tight fit in there.  So some din connectors won't fit or the orientation is not correct.  When I had a SME 20 I used a Hovland Phono cable and it had a Cardas DIN.
