    Description

    Offering a
    vintage 1950's ASTATIC 200S Microphone
    . These handheld microphones were marketed for general voice, P.A., home recording or two-way use, but have also become super popular with
    blues harmonica
    artists. They were built tough and have lasted through the decades, but generally got a little beat up from so much use. We have
    physically restored
    the casing with new Hammertone Grey paint and a brand
    new Astatic D104 replacement capsule
    , which accurately emulates the mid-rangy profile of the original crystal element that came with these mics.
    A good audio demo can be seen on this YouTube link:

    A brand new 7' cable is hardwired to the mic with a 1/4" male phono plug. The built-in on-off slide switch functions well, and the front grill is unblemished. This mic is ready to rock once again!
    At the time of this listing, we have 2 identical.
