Mission 774 Tonearm - Cardas wired Arm Tube

[mikeyb]

Hi,

No longer needed so I’ve decided to sell this Mission 774 Tonearm, Cardas rewired armtube and comes with a heavier counterweight as the standard one has had a brass weight fitted to it ( see photo )

Output cable/connection WILL need tidying and resoldering to the little pub board under the base plate, and there is a scrape on one side of the arm base ( see photo ), comes with one larger pin for the dampening trough.

Has been used on my Michell Focus One TT in the past and was working fine, but on removal the badly soldered joints on the baseplate pcb came away and I don’t have the skill to fix prior to sale. I might get my Son in Law to repair it as he’s pretty good with stuff like that, but otherwise it’s sold as is. The Cardas rewire for the arm tube was about £120 on it’s own.

£275 inc postage which is a good bit less than I paid for it.

The head has been drilled to accept any cartridge.

Really good memories of owning one of these.

That base plate is definitely in need of a little tidy but well well worth it for the price.

If the new owner wants it tidied up, I'm happy to help.

GLWS mickyb, a true giant killer.Thanks for that offer of helping any buyer, I'll not be too disappointed if it doesn't sell, but it's sitting here doing nothing and I'd rather it was being used that just lying in a drawer.

It's an arm worth hearing and should the need for tidying it up be holding it back, that would be a great shame.

Happy to help

It is. There's nothing else at this kind of money that comes close.

Pre Xmas Bump

Still here.

Sale currently on hold as the cable/connector is away for repair/upgrade.

[mikeyb]

Back up for sale as the connector has been repaired/rewired with Oli's Spotfire cable and Amphenol plugs.

The new cable means the arm is ready to fit at soon as you receive it [emoji6]

I'm going to do a fresh advert so ignore this one [emoji6]

[Bigman80]

Back up for sale as the connector has been repaired/rewired with Mogami and will include that within the price.

With this repair the arm has cost me £360 overall but is for sale at £275 INCLUDING postage.

The new Mogami cable means the arm is ready to fit at soon as you receive it [emoji6]Is that the arm cable I did for you mate?

If it is, it's not Mogami, it's a SPOTFIRE arm cable, with Amphenol plugs.

Far better and considering the cable would cost approximately £75 on its own, this is a very cheap arm.

GLWSArgh sorry I didn't realise, I think I better revise the price as it's faaaaaar too cheap [emoji50]

Going to redo the advert as the details are not correct, more importantly the price is wrong too [emoji23][emoji23]

[Bigman80]

Going to redo the advert as the details are not correct, more importantly the price is wrong too [emoji23][emoji23]Yes mate, it's the wire I use in the Standard SPOTFIRE cable. With KLE plugs its £107.59 with the Amphenol plugs its around £75.

It was built by Firebottle as my hand is wrecked after the bike crash, hence why it's not got all the bells and whistles on but they are cosmetic. The cable is unaffected in performance Vs one with the bells and whistles.

Once I am recovered, if the new owner wants the cosmetic frills added, I'll be happy to do it. Shouldn't cost very much at all.

You might be better off with a new sale thread Mike. I can close the old one if need be.

[mikeyb]

You might be better off with a new sale thread Mike. I can close the old one if need be.That would be best I think, are you able to delete the original photos before closing?

[walpurgis]

That would be best I think, are you able to delete the original photos before closing?

As the thread will remain accessible if closed, I think it best to leave it as is to retain context, if anybody wants to see images for reference for instance. It won't impact on effectiveness of the new thread.

[struth]

can easily copy over the pic info before deletion to a new thread if that suits

[mikeyb]

can easily copy over the pic info before deletion to a new thread if that suitsI have the photos stored anyway, I just thought best to delete them as the connector and cable is totally different now.

[struth]

no bother, it can be deleted once new thread is in place

[mikeyb]

no bother, it can be deleted once new thread is in placeCool, I'll do photos of new cable etc and post new advert next couple of days. Housework to be done first [emoji849]

[struth]
