hello,, thanks for all the info so far, the arm base is 3009 base, the head shell is 3009 multi holes head shell, the arm is curve like normal metal 3009 arm but wood looking with grain (actually is wood type material??) at least outside, may be i can post it to some one to check it out for fun,,i am leaving it as is and scare to fix it up,, it is supposed to work,,but since it is non replaceable, so, i am afraid to touch it, but it was working years ago before my father pass away., as i remember, i was listening beetles and telarc LP with him, but i have no use with it and sitting there, so i am not sure what shall i do, it is kind of waste to sit there ,, so,, uhmm,, thank you for every one so far, sincere
Tidybear, do you know what stick on wood (vinyl) looks like? Wonder if someone wanted the chrome SME to have more WAF and did a custom job?
hello again, i don't think it is vinyl,, i think it is wood, and i am sorry, i don't know what is WAF?? custom job wise, i don't know for sure, but, it looks very good, how can i post pics here?>>?? thanks for your time
You can start a system thread and name it something like "Rare SME" or similar and then you can post photo's in that. A link in this thread will drive us over to that so we can view.

WAF is Wife Acceptance Factor. Many of us are married and often have to make changes in our system based on what the pretty one likes. Fortunately I lucked out, mine pays no attention at all to my system or what I do to it.
