Pair of Mission 760i bookshelf/standmount speakers from the 90's... Full working order & good condition, one grille requires a little blu-tak to stay on but its really minor.

Sorry about the crappy pictures

Looking for £35 [B]delivered :)

After my recent DM2 woes these are looking tempting. It would be nice to own some speakers who's tweeters didn't duck and run whenever there's an 'r' in the month :eyebrows:

I bought some of these (around 1991) from when Mission speakers were well made, sold them to a mate and now his eldest son is using them and they sound great even now I'm told

they do work best with solid stands IMHO, I used mine on Linn ku stone stands and sold them with those so assume they are still sat happily on them :)
(some on ebay for nowt however they are HEAVY so will have to collect)

for finishes on old speakers polishing with a wax repair stick is well worth it, black is not too easy to find but I recently bought one for £3.14 on the 'bay (Softwax Soft Wax Wood Filler Repair Stick)

Bargaintastic! I love these little things (bought mine back in 1992, only sold them 5 or so years ago) and they're a riot. If I didn't have 4 other pairs of speakers in the house I'd snap these up.

And with James being a Sony fan he's clearly a tip-top chap too. :)

Thanks guys. They do like some power up 'em don't they ? The little T-amp is finding them harder to drive than the JBL's !

I still have a pair of the 760se in regular use, yes they do like some power up them but strangely they love the mini t.

Loads of fun
