Do Tonearms need servicing


I treated myself to a to. 2nd Hand  SME  309 Tonearm. They have become expensive and rare over the last few months. It is optically in very nice condition and sounds good to my ears. However My estimation it is between 7 and 10 years old. 
I am asking myself whether I should get it serviced. Appreciate your input / sharing your experience.

Dear @jorgjean : That's a very specific question for a specific tonearm model and must be asked to the designer/manufacturer, to no one else.

What any one including me but the specific manufacturer can tell you has no value at all.

The main issue in a tonearm could be at the bearing and its condition depends more of the owners care of use than time.

Any person that is dedicated to refurbish tonearms always will tell you your tonearm needs " something " because it's his busine$s. Ask the manufacturer. Period. Wiring up-grade is different.

Regards and enjoy the MUSUIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

Unless that vintage tonearm has been run over by a vehicle or used as a hammer I'd leave it alone! Spoken as an owner of several nice vintage arms.
If you are not careful servicing your vintage tonearm, you will soon have a gaggle of baby tonearms to care for.  So use protection.
i think jiffylube is running a special for labor day weekend :)
