SME Tonearms of Canada - Alfred and Company that sell new and refurbish SME

@cardani so Alfred is still around

@vinny55 Yes I,m sure he is. I just corresponded by email with him a couple of weeks ago about the serial number of the arm I bought from him in January. I would just pick up the phone and give him a call, I spoke with him twice over the phone and had good conversations and advice from him.I think he also has an ebay store. Good luck!

When you call Alfred he is most likely to be the one answering,
from what I can tell he enjoy's the banter.

I would stay as far away from this guy as possible. His guarantee policy is only a ploy to make people think they are dealing with a reasonable person and part with their cash. A real "confidence man". The tonearm (3012) he sent me did not come with a serial number. $2,613 for a tonearm without a serial number does not seem like a fair deal at all. 

He rebuilt my 3009II (unimproved) and it works and sounds great. Service was good and fast but not cheap.
