I have two one mics for sale.
Bushman Torpedo Mic
First is a customized Bushman/Nady Torpedo harp mic. I bought a newBushman Torpedo Harmonica Microphone From Coast2CoastMusic. The mic, as I received it, was not good for tube amps without an impedance transformer and it has a clunky XLR connector.I decided to customize the mic and turn it into a real Harp Mic. I took the mic apart. removed the vocal element, and put a New-Old-Stock Atatic MC-151 crystal element in it. I pulled the XLR connector and rewired it to an integrated 1/4 inch guitar style jack so you can use any standard guitar cord without an adapter.
The mic is made from stainless steel and is just slightly smaller than a JT-30. ( I had to trim the MC-151 rubber gaskette.) The Torpedo has a very cool design. It weighs slightly less than a JT-30, but it feels like one in your hands.
The element is a nice one and has that classic JT-30 sound. The element is from a batch that I bought back in 2001 while Astatic was still making them and is a good solid and loud element.
I am including the cool little mic stand adapter that comes with the Torpedo.
Price $229 which includes shipping in the USA. I will ship to Europe, but buyer pays shipping and insurance. Contact Erica to arrange PayPal payment [email protected]
Harley Mic SOLD
I built another Harley Mic.These are made out of motorcycle tail lights. I take out the lamp and lense, put a grill and element and add the pot and jack. This is a nice budget mic with a very hot new Hohner Blues Blaster crystal element (Japanese).
It has a 1 meg pot volume control and a 1/4 inch jack for guitar cord built in.
It is very light and slightly smaller than a JT-30.
The price is
