Do SME V's come with detchable head shell?

Hi there, I am considering to buy an SME V from some guy in England but his pictures show the SME V w/o a headshell. The tone arm is supposed to be brand new in the box but I thought that these are not removable on the SME V so can anyone enlighten me on what is going on here?

Thanks guys

Yes they have a removable headshell. Sumiko in the US just does not bring them in. Now you can adjust azumith.

Dear friends: The SME V or IV comes with non-removable headshell but the 300 series come wwith removable headshell, but there are ddifferences in the quality sound reproduction between the V/IV and the 300 series.

Regards and enjoy the music.

If you can find them, the Model 10 tonearm has the SME V magnesium tonearm tube AND a removeable headshell, although it only has the ABEC-1 bearings as on the 300 series arms. The 300/Model 10 arms acan also be upgraded with the FDIV fluid damper and VTA adjustment wand that comes with the V series arms.
