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

Have you done a search? This topic has been posted and discussed before. Short answer; he does good work but on my vintage SME 3009 arm, when the problem with the cue lever could not be resolved, he stopped returning my messages and calls. He also hard-sold me on a forty year old NOS GAS moving magnet cartridge for $900 and refused to take no for an answer until I insisted he stop bringing it up. Overall, good and bad. 

I too sent him a precious 3009 arm (to me) because my dad had bought it in 1959 with a Thorens TD124. I had grown up with that arm as a teenager and young audio enthusiast. When it came back to me the cueing lever no longer worked. He then gave me a very hard sell for some ancient G.A.S. cartridge he claimed would give me clear skin and make me "strong as bull" and make my life unicorns and rainbows. I politely declined. He then stopped returning my emails about my arm. That was ten years ago but I see things have not changed.
