I need an old Altec Lansing 685A microphone (1960's?) for a project. Anybody have one? 
Thanks.

Thanks.
BTW what instrument sources were u thinking of tracking w/ this mic?
I'm almost 10 years late to the session but I have two of these in Chicago. The main reason I am replying is to find out whatever I can about them. I have to figure out the 5-pin cable. At first, I thought these were tube mics.Vocals... coffeehouse ballads. (In the 60's, the Altec 685A was the best vocal tape recording mic I ever found. Instruments would be mic'd separately with anything else we had. Everything was live and most of us were limited to 2-tracks. If you didn't like the take, you did it again.)
