Re: [Harp-L] Mel Bay mailing



Hope you all don't mind me sending this as a reply but it went to spam so i had to do it this way.
 
looking for a trade...
Hello out there i have a working sure 533SA that i'm currently gigging with and a sure 535 SAV that is the model with volume control that has just stopped working on me don't know why haven't checked it out but i would be willing to trade those two plus a shure chrome 707 A shell with a screw on connector already attached (not very well attached hole was a bit too big so i drilled a hole and put a rivot in)  but i used it for over a year like that and it was fine.  anyway they are all great looking mics and the 533 has a very strong output. someone witha little electrical savy could put the element from the 533 in the 535 and you would have a mic with volume control.  Ok now this is what i'm looking for an original stong output chrystal JT30 not ceramic so like a 1950's jt30 i don't care if the shell is beat up as long as the output on the element is strong.  please contact me offline if interested.  no blues blasters or chrystal balls just
interested in jt30's vintage can be brown bullit or grey but muct have riveted plate. 

thanks all.

Phil Phil Duncan is the harmonica 'Laison' at Mel Bay's. He is a  
charter member of spah. Mel Bay is a sponsor of spah, and Phil has  
given many interesting seminars, and has also played there. I'm  
fairly sure that the mailings were meant to be of interest to players  
and if not THEM, maybe a player friend of the player addressed whom  
doesn't know that these publications exist. (quite true here in S.W.  
Florida).

I recently got one of these mailings, and, interesting enough, my  
wife Cassie Mae happened to peruse the mailing and got  
insulted.....for ME. I didn't get insulted. I was pleased that they  
thought enough of me to send it. Once a quilt guild friend of hers  
sent her home with a book that her husband thought I might be able to  
learn something from. Cassie Mae was again insulted.....for ME,  
(she's my biggest fan). The book was written by Tommy Morgan. Again,  
I wasn't insulted. So, I think it was all harmless.
