mission 775s w/774 arm...a forgotten jewel?

Added this table/arm combo to my hifi museum, and i gotta say it rocks. Somehow missed this in the 80's, and i'm very pleased to have found one today. Playing with a garrott bros. k3 and it is one of the most pleasing analogue front ends i've ever used. Anyone else have one of these?

there is no suffix on the arm container, so i believe it to be a straight up 774 arm. i will probably keep this combo the way it is because it is literally like new and sounds great. i will look for a mechanic however for future use, given this combo's incredible performance.

I owned the arm,mounted on a Linn,way back when.I was very happy with performance.A nice product.BTW,the Mission cartridge,of that era was NOT up to the performance quality of the arm!
Best!

i had a 4 day shootout with my thorens 147 jubilee, and my friend's superb well tempered classic, and vpi hw3....it hung in with both tables even with a much cheaper cartridge than the other three.
