Suggestions for Vintage microphones

[taddeo]

I've been on the look out for some cheap vintage microphones ($50-100).
I'm after a raw, dirty sounding microphone for overheads, guitars and atmosphere recording. I don't really know much about microphones, so would anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

Thankyou.

"Cheap", "Vintage" and "Good" are not words used to describe a single product often. You could have any two of those things together, but not all three.

"Cheap", "Vintage" and "Good"

Thanks for the suggestions, just having a look on ebay.

I have come across these:
-TELEFUNKEN D11-C
-TELEFUNKEN TD 21
-AKG D 1000-C
-BEYER M 55

Anyone know much about these makes?
And are the cables easy to transfer to XLR?

I thought good was implied. If you don't want good, go to ebay and buy old crap.
