SME Model 6

Price trend

Sold or Listed Prices

12 market transactions via web search — not HiFi Registry sales.

Understanding the market

Half of recorded transactions fall between $4,563 and $6,393. The full range is tight — lowest to highest is only 1.8×, which suggests these units trade in a well-established band and condition moves price less than it does for many models.

What buyers should know

Ask what state the bearing and belt are in and whether the plinth has been modified. Establish whether the price includes a cartridge and tonearm, since these can represent most of the value. Turntables require careful packing — the platter and counterweight should always ship separately.

This range reflects 12 recorded sales, compiled from publicly listed and completed sales elsewhere on the used market, not from HiFi Registry transactions. That is a large enough sample to price against with reasonable confidence, though condition and provenance still move individual units.
