Look what I found in my old parts box this morning, in fully functional and not bad physical shape.
An original AKG D19 , also referred to as the "Beatle" mic.
I had actually been looking for this mic a few months ago as I started recording the Acoustic again, but when I couldn't find it I assumed I sold it back to my friend.
Reading about these on the net this morning it appears these are still in quite the demand and in some cases carry a $500 price tag ! Holy Moly Batman ! I think I paid $20 for it back then.
This is an AKG D-19 C200 and it is missing the label on the bass roll off switch, other than that it's in pretty good shape for sitting in the bottom of a box for the past 20 years !

ps, I tracked with the mic last night and it's pretty nice, certainly not the best but overall clean and bright.
