Default Re: SME series III height adjusting...

There was a "lift base" available, as shown in my pic.

It is SME original. It is made from some hard plastic material that I cannot identify.

In this picture, the arm is fitted to my home made slate base. I had the same problem as you are having.

It's probably not much help, but it would be easy to hand make something that would suit. The four arm mounting holes can be traced off the mounting base, and the adjusting slot could be filed to fit the standard pattern, from what I can see the two Philips head screws ( my option, NOT origional ) are 70mm apart. I used Philips head stainless steel screws as I had them, they are fitted to wooden dowels drilled into the slate base. The whole circle diameter of the extra base is 87.5mm.

I hope this is some help

Joe
