1940’s High-Impedance Harmonica Microphone
Vintage 1970 Shure Controlled Magnetic
99A86 JI element
Fully Tested and Working

Here’s a lovely Astatic Biscuit harp mic, with an excellent, strong CM element from 1970. The paint is good with some scratches and scuffs. There is also some fine bubbling on the face grill

This element is strong, with a nice crunchy distortion throughout, and excellent Bass tone.

The mic is newly rewired, and a Switchcraft 5/8” screw-on connector has been added. I’ve also installed a new silicone gasket to keep the element in place and reduce any handling noise.

The mic features:
– Strong 1970 Shure 99A86 JI element
– 1012 Ohms
– New wiring
– New Switchcraft connector

Good cosmetic condition, with scuffs and scratches to the original brown bullet shell paint.
