    i would say that due to the fact there must be at least 12 of us on here alone that have the mission 774 on our ebay watch list you can expect to pay from £250 to £400 for a good one without the sagging counter weight.

    ive not seen one on ebay for about 4 months.

    ALL YOUR BASE BELONG TO US !!!

    Actually not everyone here is a 774 lover, if it were me I'd stick a Jelco 750 D on it, far more flexible in practical terms, and more suitable for higher-mass cartridges. (And in my view a better arm but that's an argument I'm not going to win here!)

    The TT and a £300 ish 774 would be over what I'd planned to spend, slap a £1200 cartridge on it I'll be washing dishes for several lifetimes! Ignorance is bliss! Lol

    It doesn't have to be a mission.

    I flirted with the idea of a Jelco but got talked out of it.

    Slip of the fingers there when I wrote higher mass I meant lower compliance, it if of course the tonearm that's higher mass.

    I'm actuallly a huge fan of the Jelco, out of the box it's a superb arm, but with one of the Ammonite Audio collars, possibly a rewire (copper is fine and much cheaper than silver) and bearing fettle at Audio Origami, it's a giant killer.

    And lots of options as well, 9in, 10in, 12in, different arm weight combinations and none of the hassle you get with 'vintage' arms. Better than many, many of the older arms that people get all nostalgic over.

    thats really refreshing to hear! particularly the last bit!
    ive had 2 774 arms and whilst they are good,to me they just dont have the 'look' the cartridge always looks odd when mounted too the tiny block. aesthetics matter to me as well as the sound.
