Anyone else remember SME? No, not SMER but Scale Model Engineering, based in Potters Bar. Made beautifully engineered kits - I have their XK120, which has machined brass wheels and a pre-bent aluminium exhaust with the end drilled out. It once had nicely moulded rubber Dunlop tyres, but sadly three of them welded themselves together. SME switched to making high-end hi-fi turntables and tone arms, turntables at prices from £6 000 to upwards of £26 000.

Wow, never knew SME made kits! Their turntables are up there with the very best. I have a friend who has an arm and turntable of theirs. It sounds excellent. Far too rich for my blood though I’m afraid.
