"But compared to other 200-300 turntables of 1975, the platter of the SL1200 was pretty heavy."
That may be but I remember thinking something like a 12 pound platter was heavy.
"Sorry. I meant the SME 3009"
I should have thought of that. Response from SME:

Regarding the SME 300 Series we can confirm production began in 1988 as an addition to the SV range which of course includes the SME SIV. The 309 arm remains much the same apart the introduction of magnesium arm tube approximately 11/12 years ago. This change was to bring the arm tube into standard production alongside the SV and IV but clearly is also an upgrade to the 309. The 309 today is one of our most popular arms and provides many of the sonic benefits so often referred to in HiFi press of the SV tone arm.
