Because this is an older, niche deck with no modern replacement in the same exact mold, the timing matters more than the calendar: condition and completeness can swing value a lot. At US$700, it reads as fair-to-strong if it’s complete and working well; for a healthy example, that’s in the zone enthusiasts actually pay, not a throwaway bargain but not a stretch either.
The appeal here is straightforward: Mission’s suspended-belt designs are admired for rhythmic drive, musical ease, and a properly “analog” presentation that rewards careful setup. If the arm, belt, and original bits are present, the upside is a very satisfying vintage deck with real character. The main watchouts are age-related wear, missing parts, and any evidence of shaky servicing—worth checking, but not deal-killers if the asking price stays honest.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Mission Electronics, a British hi-fi icon, was founded in 1977 by Farad Azima in the UK, rapidly emerging as a pioneer in acoustic engineering. Azima, a former audio importer and distributor, infused the brand with innovative drive, launching the revolutionary Mission 770 loudspeaker in 1978—the world's first with a commercial polypropylene bass unit. This debut set benchmarks for clarity and bass response, propelling Mission to prominence amid the golden era of British hi-fi.
The brand excels in loudspeakers across sectors, from seminal 1970s and 1980s models like the 770 to high-end masterpieces such as the 2001 Pilastro, Elegante, and SX series. Under Peter Comeau's acoustic leadership since 1999, Mission has expanded into hi-fi electronics, including amplifiers and home cinema systems, while maintaining an engineering-first ethos. Now part of the International Audio Group since 2005, with production in Shenzhen, it leverages advanced manufacturing for components like cables and turntable ancillaries, though speakers remain its core strength.
Mission holds mid-to-high-end status, revered by discerning buyers for award-winning performance—What Hi-Fi? Best Loudspeaker (2000, 2001), EISA Speaker of the Year (2001, 2003)—and timeless appeal. A management buyout refined its retail focus, positioning it as a reliable benchmark against pricier rivals, blending heritage innovation with accessible excellence for serious audiophiles.
