Tone arm plug in RCA cable?

Hey @rauliruegas your insistence on calling users here "stupid" is  disruptive. Please stop it. Please. I'm asking you nicely.

Series II Improved: 1973-2003, 260,484 built

SME Series V 1984 - 2022 (Possibly to be Superseded and not offered any longer)

One Model has 30 Years of Production, the other has 38 Years of Production.

The overlap in the Market Place of the Two models is seemingly 20 Years, and as a wild conjecture, if keeping it contained to using an average of the gross sales figure, it could be assessed that during the Two Tonearms overlap period as a sale item, there were potentially 173,656 sales of the Series II Tonearm.

With this as a evidence, it does seem extremely difficult to come to the conclusion that SME were of the opinion:

"SME took in count its mistake with the knife bearing switched at once for the great SME V till today"   

It would also seem that during the time of the launch of the SME V, that the Series II was competing for a market share against other Brands  Knife Edge Bearing Tonearm Designs.  I got the math wrong previously on the gross sales, so I will try and hold off repeating that one.

Maybe another might like to take a stab at how many Knife Edge Tonearms were sold from all Brands during the First 20 Year period of the SME V being a sale item.

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to compare the marketing data for the sales of the SME V along side the gross figure.

I can't resist, I reckon, as a wild guess, there were close to 500 000 very contented and happy, 'not stupid' , Knife Edge Bearing Tonearm users during this period.

  I have followed certain obsessive types posts on here for quite some time, and have been under impressed with the very noticeable intent to destroy a reasonable inquiry.

I have been under impressed by the certain obsessive type who's unconstrained displays of brutishness, where there is a noticeable comfort in their expressing themselves directly toward another.  Especially an individual who is open and with admirable honesty and for these enjoyed traits, is met with their antithesis and offered a barrage of insults that escalate down to a personal level.

As I have made it know before I seem reasonably adept at identifying this type of individual, and class this type as an individual as one to be avoided at all cost. 

@cleeds  : for this kind of posts I use the word stupid and not as an insult:

" very contented and happy, 'not stupid' , Knife Edge Bearing Tonearm users during this period. "

Obviously that SME manufacturer  learned the necessity to change its tonearm bearing design. Everyone has the rigth to learn: manufacturers and audiophiles.

Ignorance/very low knowledge levels is not an excuse for stupidity.

Common sense.
