We will rewire your SME using the tonearm wires of your choice or with the AnalogMagik Reference Silver or Copper tonearm wires. By eliminating 2 to 10, signal integrity can be improved by having only 2 connections, direct from Headshell Clips to RCA output. No expensive Din to RCA cable will eliminate the 9 unnecessary extra connections. Phono Cable Wire to RCA Male Connector (Solder Joint).Internal Wire to Din Pin (Solder joint).Pin to Pin spring-loaded SME DIN connector. Further improvements can be made to the tonearm by eliminating the 11 connections within the tonearm wire: The hardening of the old wire with a PVC jack hinders the horizontal movement of the armwand, reducing agility. Wiring aside, the 90 degree bend at the bearing also causes the old PVC jacket to break at the turn. Please contact us to inquire: EMAIL US Optional direct wire replacement using a direct connection with no connections in between.Complete restoration of the tonearm cable or re-wiring the tonearm.Resetting of the bearing tension to property tightness within 0.01-inch lbs, and within 0.1mm tolerance on the bearing cup.Relubrication of the ball bearing using Watchmakers synthetic lubricant.Thorough cleaning and degreasing of the ball bearing using Watchmakers degreaser.Complete disassembly of the entire arm down to individual components. The SME 3012 V1 should be completely restored and it involves: This will cause one SME tonearm to sound different than the next. The rough action will also affect azimuth and anti-skating. This will affect the horizontal movement, which causes the arm to sound sluggish and dull. Some have been reworked, albeit improperly with the wrong type of lubrication. In all cases, the grease they use back in the old days has dried up, combined with dust, dirt, and grime, the bearing is usually not turning smoothly. If you simply purchase an old SME thinking it will perform like once did 50 years ago, you are mistaken. If you simply believe in what you read on various forums and treat it as gospel chance are you have not looked at the SME arm carefully. But it only performs if it is completely restored. It projects much better contrast and dynamics than the later versions with aluminum armtube. The SME 3012 is a fantastic tonearm, and Version 1 with stainless steel armtube is highly sought after.
