Beautiful SME tone arm on that Thorens. Great engineering meticulously executed. Gotta love that.

Thank you sir. I didn't know what I was buying when it was obtained. All I knew is it was similar to what my Audio Mentor had, the guy who started all this when he showed me his Hi-Fi setup, I was 9 years old. Anyways I got it for $250 in 2003 (age 24) including the arm and auto-lifter, it also had a $450 Garrott P-77 cartridge installed. When the stylus wore out on it, I had it sitting in a padded box for cartridges, my ex stole it when we split. Micro tracer stylus re-tipping would have cost as much as the cartridge so I moved onto cheaper options. Absolutely love that table and arm, superior tracking and stability. SME 3009 Series 2 Improved.

must be an optical illusion, but it looks a bit low for the platter from this angle.

The platter was taken off so I could polish it. Took ages but am happy with the result.

I thought it looked a bit odd. I get it now. I can see wot looks like a curved scrape mark from the platter.
it still looks low. (the SME)
the 'platter's hub, looks really tall.
