Help With Mission 774LC Please


Hi all,

I bought a second-hand Mission 774LC about a month ago. The bearings seem excellent, but one thing I noticed was that it struggled to pass the 3rd anti-skating track on the Hifi News test record and needed a very high anti-skating setting (>2.75) to pass track 3 satisfactorily.

I've just noticed that the top of the tonearm at the mount (the bit that says Mission on it) isn't level, although the parts below, where the tonearm is attached to the armboard, and the platform where the VTA is adjusted are level.

Hard to explain without a photo, but I don't know if I can attach one. Can the two screws on the side of yoke (?) be used to adjust this or is there nothing I can do?
The cartridge VTF is set at 1.8 grams. Turntable is a Technics SL1200 Mk 2

Many thanks
Gary

Thanks for the response. I managed to get a similar arm off a Revolver turntable. This one is perfectly level so the Mission has been retired. I may fit it to another TT if I ever get one.

Best wishes
