Junkin’ Find: Kent Mic
July 11, 2010
Even though it might be noon at the flea market and people are already shutting down, if you look there’s always cool stuff to be had. I got this neat RCA Type 77 knock-off for $5.
Does it work?
Eh.. No. The cable was just a long dry mess with a nub at the end. So I took it apart and lots of crusty junk fell out.
A sacrificial cable and some soldering and it’s time to test it out.
All we need now is a test subject
Luckily, Molly is willing and is a great singer and songwriter to boot. Here’s a song of hers called “My Heart’s Not Safe With Yours” recorded with the revived mic.
