heya!

does anyone have any of these lying around? Maybe some of you odd gear collectors?

they seem real hard to come by on the bay.

I think there is a Western Electric mic that is one in the same too?

email me matt@undergroundstudios.com.au
or PM

I was watching a couple in the US earlier in the year- the sellers were all chasing around $500, which I thought was a little high. If you keep your head about you you can still get lower model RCA mics for around $500, so I never committed. And yep, as far as I know the Western Electric is identical inside with a different badge.

Exactly- I think the last I offered was about $600-$650 for two matching units which I thought was fair. When that was knocked back I gave up on chasing them down.
