Tonearm for Michell Focus One

There are various versions of the Mission arms, some highly respected. Mine is the budget one made by Jelco.

Nothing special, EXCEPT, it has a very short rear counterweight section which I needed to add a 3rd arm on my TT within the dust cover when on. I use it for MONO cartridge ready to go.

Also, it is a small diameter base (very close to my JVC's TT’s wide rim); and easy mount. In my case, the base was threaded for 3 screws from below. I drilled those holes all the way thru and surface mounted in with 3 black wood screws.

Mine has a delayed drop when lowering the arm lift lever, an asset when using it backwards.

luckily for me, the seller knew how to measure properly and give me needed answers.

I had the SME 3009 on my Thorens TD124 TT for many years, loved it. Had Shure's last V15Vxmr cartridge with beryllium cantilever (until I broke the cantilever)

Combined with the Thorens very heavy (9.5 lbs) platter, it produced the best bass I ever had. Sadly, the Thoren's bearing's tendency to transmit vertical motion (my flexible flyer wood floors) I eventually sold them. 

Thanks guys. Love the 3 arm setup!

forgot to add that I’ve seen an original 774 and wondered if that would go OK with K9
