A plinth like this is a niche but meaningful bit of vintage turntable hardware, and at kr 1,500 it looks like a strong bargain versus the comparable SEK market: it sits well below the kr 2,659 25th percentile and far under the kr 19,684 median. That is the kind of gap that usually signals a buyable listing if the item is complete and structurally sound.
What makes it worthwhile is that SME bases are generally valued for their rigid, low-resonance construction and practical fit with classic decks, so a clean example can be a very sensible foundation for a serious vinyl setup. The upside here is mainly value and rarity at this price; just confirm the dimensions, arm-board compatibility, and that there are no cracks, warped panels, or missing mounting parts before you move.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Founded in 1946 by Alastair Robertson-Aikman as The Scale Model Equipment Company Limited in England, SME initially produced scale models and precision parts for engineering trades before pivoting in the 1950s to high-precision components for aircraft instruments and business machines. By 1961, it had relocated to a dedicated factory in Steyning, Sussex, and fully embraced audio engineering, developing its first tonearm for personal use. Now marking over 70 years of excellence, SME was acquired in 2016 by industrialist Ajay Shirke's Cadence Group, ensuring continued innovation while honoring its heritage, including recent moves like reviving the Garrard turntable brand.
SME specializes exclusively in precision turntables and tonearms, offering models like the acclaimed Model 30 series alongside a range of twelve standard arms and custom variants. With over one million tonearms sold worldwide, the company avoids diversification into amplifiers, speakers, DACs, headphones, or cables, focusing instead on unmatched engineering for vinyl playback.
Regarded as the gold standard in high-end analog audio, SME commands a niche position among discerning audiophiles for its Steyning facility—the world's largest and best-equipped for precision pick-up arms and turntables. Synonymous with industry-leading build quality and sonic refinement, it appeals to serious collectors and professionals who prioritize mechanical perfection over mass-market compromises.
