A few weeks back I posted about a big haul of cool gear I bought at the flea market. I had found a pair of NOS 12AX7s, a Conn Strobe Tuner, EVH Flanger, 80s Hendrix Fuzz and a Four Track for about $60 or something. All of that stuff has been sold (aside from the tubes and tuner) for about $450.
Today I went to the flea market again. I worked last night for Alice & Chains so I was pretty tired but my alarm went off at 5:30am and I toughed it out. Today I scored this really cool Shure 55SW. They reissue this mic and the new ones are pretty cheap looking/feeling. This one is circa 1955 and weighs a ton. I paid $35 for it with the cable. The cable is either not done right (wrong pins) or broken so I'm going to make a new one, as the connector is good.
I don't know if I'll ever record with this but it would be cool for a video or a live thing. I buy a lot of old things and love yard sales/flea markets. There's tons of things out there to be discovered!
