The first 3009 came out in 1959....

and was just about the first arm to set the standard.

There are plenty of places to find out their history but to answer your question:

yes, they really are that good, but you can get better used for the money.

What keeps prices up is threefold:

1. The name and reputation
2. Build quality
3. Parts availability - although now mainly used. SME still manufacture and sell a few parts that will fit early 3009s.

I have two 3009/IIs. I like them as they are versatile and easy to use and set up but there are better, more modern arms out there.
