Garage Sale

I have two one mics for sale.

Bushman Torpedo Mic

First is a customized Bushman/Nady Torpedo harp mic. I bought a new Bushman Torpedo Harmonica Microphone From Coast2CoastMusic. The mic, as I received it, was not good for tube amps without an impedance transformer and it has a clunky XLR connector.

I decided to customize the mic and turn it into a real Harp Mic. I took the mic apart. removed the vocal element, and put a New-Old-Stock Atatic MC-151 crystal element in it. I pulled the XLR connector and rewired it to an integrated 1/4 inch guitar style jack so you can use any standard guitar cord without an adapter.

The mic is made from stainless steel and is just slightly smaller than a JT-30. ( I had to trim the MC-151 rubber gaskette.) The Torpedo has a very cool design. It weighs slightly less than a JT-30, but it feels like one in your hands.

The element is a nice one and has that classic JT-30 sound. The element is from a batch that I bought back in 2001 while Astatic was still making them and is a good solid and loud element.

I am including the cool little mic stand adapter that comes with the Torpedo.

Price $229 which includes shipping in the USA. I will ship to Europe, but buyer pays shipping and insurance. Contact Erica to arrange PayPal payment ecgraham@aol.com




Harley Mic SOLD

I built another Harley Mic.These are made out of motorcycle tail lights. I take out the lamp and lense, put a grill and element and add the pot and jack. This is a nice budget mic with a very hot new Hohner Blues Blaster crystal element (Japanese).

It has a 1 meg pot volume control and a 1/4 inch jack for guitar cord built in.

It is very light and slightly smaller than a JT-30.


The price is $89.95 SOLD and I’ll ship free in the USA. Contact me for overseas shipping rates.
