[Boatanchors] Microphone

[K0DAN]

Boy that mic site is great! Brought back lotsa memories. When you couldn't 
afford a rig, you bought microphones. Right?

The amazing thing is how much money some of those junk mics command. Many of 
them were, at best, OK, but they worked and were decent. Now they are 
pedestals of old technology and considered antique electronic gold. Wish I 
had my old JT-30, to sell to some young and aspiring harmonica player! Or to 
plug into an HT32!
