To buy or not to buy???
« on: October 24, 2007, 05:10:19 PM »
Fund a "vintage" pair of Sony ECM-22p (battery and PH power) condensors locally on Craigs List.  Circa 1970 mic, card only, with roll-off.  $50 for the pair...

Opinions???

Thanks,

Terry

Yeah, I've seen some old shows with those...  But I've not heard the shows...

But for $50, its almost a "can't go wrong".  I think I'm sneaking out there and buying them before my girlfriend gets home from work...  If anything, I'll donate them to our local music hall, maybe perma-mount them there for future use...

I have a pair of 70 ish sony ecm 260f mics that I believe use the same caps as those.  I love them!  I don't use them as much as I used to but I made some great recordings with them.  for fifty bucks I would take em.

$50.... You got to buy just for the hell of it.  I did the same thing for a set of AKG D109s on ebay.  $29 and I could not find hardly any info on them.  An AKG engineer had a test set sitting in a box for 20 years.  So so for loud concerts, pretty good for soft, acoustic, or instrament micing.  Ended up using them as a stereo pair into my PC where the kick butt.
