yes, that mic would go for $250 or so new, I've heard great recordings made with it, one of the better deals in mics for the price

agreed, Shawn, I am thinking about buying it and just keeping it with a D8 in a camera bag for trips, just in case I need a rig while on the road, honestly I have heard some great recordings with this mic straight into a D8, hard to believe but true

yeah, Scott Frosch tapes around the Indy/Bloomington area running 822 > D8 and he pulls some pretty decent tapes. His tapes convinced me  to start out with an 822. I ran 822> jb3 for a while but I don't think the tapes sounded as good as 822 > D8 stuff does. From what I've read and from the little personal experience I have the pre/adc sections of those two devices are pretty comporable, but I guess the D8's pre/adc must be a better match for the 822.

Yeah, those were big newbie Grateful Dead tapers in the 1990's.
I wonder what elements are in there?

That was my first mic & I used to run it into a MD (forgive Calibos, forgive) @ The Crystal Ballroom in PDX & made some really nice recordings.   Even ran it @ Cuthbert for Phil in 99' & was pleasently surprised.   As long as it works it's a steal for $79.

I (think) I'm going to get it.  I just need to get shipping to a USA address...

Absolutely!  I'll certainly be taking it apart.  I take everything apart!
