I suspect the one of the modern range that will be worth serious cash soon is the M2-12R. That one will go through the roof!
Cool: I have a 312 on a CTC Garrard.*I actually think the earliest 312 with way way superior to the much later 312s maybe this was due to the aluminium arm tube, is even better than the m12r.
Out of interest how much better are the M2-R versions over the non R models? Is it just aesthetics or do they actually perform at a significantly higher level?
I'd not be at all surprised if SME's new owners don't end up taking the company down the pan.
ThanksCongratulations! I have the same. What cartridge will you fit?
It has been suggested on another forum that because SME are increasing and diversifying their deck manufacturing, there is only enough arm manufacturing capacity to satisfy their deck+arm record player combos. Sounds feasible. Otherwise, with R & D etc. well and truly covered for most of their range, they'd be biting the hand that feeds them if they curtailed arm production unnecessarily.

Like a lot of companies today, it is easier to sell a product which has a well known and established brand/name than build a new one,.
