VINTAGE ELECTRO-VOICE 633: What a
beautiful mic, and just a monster sound!
I've been carrying this dynamic mic around in my case during the Summer because
I didn't want to take a chance of this Texas heat damaging the crystal elements
in my JT-30's.
I really love playing through this mic! It's truly a classic with the heavy
chrome front and rear and heavy-duty grey plastic midsection where the on/off
switch is located. Fully tested and 100% all the way. Hi-Z mic with 5/8"
screw-on connector. SOLD!
VINTAGE PHILLIPS EL 6014: Unusual little square-face mic from Holland
that you won't see in anybody else's harp case. A high-quality heavy-duty mic
made by Phillips, I have held on to this mic for years because I love the sound
I get with it. Unfortunately, I can't keep all of my mics so you're seeing one
of my favorites listed here. The mic is only 4" long and the grill measures
1 3/4" so bigger hands would find this one more comfortable. It has a nice
long 10 ft cable ending in a 5/8" female screw-on connector (see parts and
supplies for 1/4" adapter). It has an ON/OFF switch plus it also has a
switch on the bottom of mic for setting high impedance or low impedance. Quality
and great tone all the way! Only $159.00
VINTAGE JT-30 WITH VOLUME POT: Here's a
nice little JT-30 that came to me recently from California. This is not one of
my custom jobs so I'm listing it under Vintage Mics instead of the Custom mics
page. The Chrome grill is perfect and really looks good with it's black silk
underneath. The grey shell is well-worn with no dents or pitting. It has a
5/8" screw-on connector. It has a Black Volume Control Knob, looks to be
aluminum. Inside is a very STRONG and LOUD Vintage MC-151 element. The
wiring inside was well-done with double grounding points.
This mic sounds great! (This will go quick!) SORRY, IT'S SOLD!
VINTAGE ASTATIC JT-30C CERAMIC: Rare CERAMIC-ELEMENT
version of the JT-30 with the original ceramic element inside. This model
has the classic Chrome grill with the grey shell (minor scuffs and scratches)
and has a black silk behind the grill. Connector is 5/8" screw-on. It was
made in the 1940's/50's in Conneaut, Ohio and is in great condition. The
original element still sounds great! Price
is SOLD!
VINTAGE SHURE 76B: Lapel Mic with
extra-long 25 ft. cable ending in 1/4" male plug.
This mic sounds very HOT and is easily cupped in
the hands (Only 1 7/8" in diameter). Price is only $139.00
VINTAGE ELECTRO-VOICE 638: Another high-quality microphone from
Electro-Voice. (Love these EV's!) This particular mic is completely covered in
heavy-chrome plate with the classic retro 638 wire-mesh grill. Has the 5/8"
screw-on connector. Very nice-looking mic with a great sound! (3 1/2 inches
long, 1 1/2 inch diameter at grill) SOLD!
Astatic JT30. (1940's/1950's Conneaut Model) Beautiful grey hammertone
finish in excellent condition. The original element in this mic was weak so it was
replaced with a NOS ( new old stock) MC-151 Crystal Element. Great looking, great sounding
mic with a hot, new element under the hood! Price is SOLD!
Astatic JT30. (1930's Youngstown model before the plant was moved to
Conneaut.) What an ugly little varmit! The finish is pitted and rough but what a
beautiful sound. I bought this JT30 out of Australia. It has an English element
in it and it really wails. If you're a blues player, you'll dig the sound of
this mic. 1930'S JT30:
SOLD!
Astatic T3 Absolutely flawless! The chrome finish on this mic is
brilliant, Like New! This mic is not only a work of art to look at but the
element is strong and sounds great! Smaller in diameter than a JT30, this mic is
easy to hold and seal with your hands. This mic is all-original and has an
old-style 3-pin connector (not XLR). SOLD!
Electro-Voice 607 Hi-Z Mic. This particular EV is hard to find with
the chrome finish and is
the only one in my collection. The mic looks great and sounds even better. I've used
this mic for melodic leads behind a singer but it will blast the blues when
asked. Easy to hold and has a durable metal finish with plastic ring around
grill. SOLD!
RARE! I'm Excited! I don't
know whether to customize this little jewel or leave it all original? Shure
"Brown Bullet" Crystal Microphone "Specially Designed for
Recording" Model# 9824A Completely Original except for 1/4" Female
Jack on end of cable. Excellent condition with the Original 99-121 Crystal
Element inside and it sounds great! Just a few small chips in the original
brown paint job. Very hard to find a mic like this in such good condition. SOLD!
Electro-Voice Spherex Ball Mic with 15ft cable ending in 1/4"
plug. this unusual mic is easily cupped in hands and has a strong full sound
also. The hook is detachable or I guess you could hang it on your belt loop? A
great sounding harp mic! SOLD!
Vintage ASTATIC 335H-7. You would have to play through this mic to believe
the sound it gets! One of the best little harp mics I've found! SOLD!
EXTREMELY RARE! Vintage RCA MI-12010 Bullet Mic (1940's?) with original rubber covered
cable ending in 1/4" plug. This picture doesn't really do it justice
because it's a beautiful mic to look at! Light brown grill with dark brown body
and cream-colored silk. It's very hard to get this mic to feedback. Excellent condition and seldom seen! SOLD!
