TD-160/Mission 774 - good BIN

[Tony L]

This looks like a really good deal at the buy it now of £350 IMO. A very nice capable deck with a great arm: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/32451872...d=link&campid=5338728743&toolid=20001&mkevt=1

Very nice. Arm's not pristine, but it is boxed - don't think you'd pick one up a decent boxed example for much less than £300. Very hard to beat that combination for the money, or double.

That was my thinking, so pretty much a TD-160 for £50! At that price it’s well worth buying it (or making if sufficient skill) a nice real-wood plinth.

Very tempting even if just for the arm and sell the deck on. Had an itch to try a 774 on my LP12 for a long time, although I also have a TD150 sitting around unused in a nice new plinth.

Go for it: looking at used prices you'd get at least £150 for the deck, likely a bit more if you tidied it up a bit.

My first ‘real’ turntable and arm set-up in 1979, with an Entre MC cartridge.
I still have the 774, now on an LP12.
