Hello,I just bought a new Shure V15 V cartridge for my SME 3009 s2 improved.
My 3009s2imp is manufactured in April 1976, serial# 212773
I no longer have the original protractor.
I have a question regarding the cartridge alignment null points.
There is a huge confusion on the web regarding this subject!!!
Here are some of the data that I have found in various scanned SME brochures or instruction manuals:
Original 3009 - single null point at 2 2/3 inches (cca 70mm)
3009 II - single null point at 60 mm (I've also found a document mentioning two null points - 60 & 111mm early version,
60 & 115mm later version)
3009 II improved early version - single null point at 60 mm (according to two null points document mentioned earlier -
two points @ 60 & 117mm)
3009 II improved late version - two null points at 66 mm and 121mm
3009R - two null points at 66 mm and 121mm
I didn't know that there are earlier an later versions of 3009 s2 improved.
Which one is mine (April 1976, serial# 212773) ?
What null point settings do you recommend for it?
Thanks in advance,
Aleksandar
PS I also have lost the original 1/16" hexagonal wrench.
Where can I find one? Here, we only have tools based on metric system...
