I was cleaning out a closet the other day and found two altec condenser mics (marked 201B, also marked C70C on the capsule). I got them in the mid 80's in lieu of payment and had completely forgotten about them. Anyone know anything about them? I also found an AKG D1000E. As I recall it was a pretty good kick drum mic.

Thanks,

Greg
 
Is this the mic that kinda looks like a black Coke bottle, or does it look like a grey lipstick?
 
Well they're grey and abou the diameter of a lipstick tube but the microphone is about 6 inhes long with the capsule attached. They also have a db attenuation switch on the side with 0, -10, -20, -30. I've done a little research in the last couple of hours and it seems these may be AKG c-451 made for Altec. Now I'm wondering if you could use LOMO capsules on these. Harvey, any help would be great.

Regards,

Greg
