Go on ebay and get a CAD Equitek E100. It's the older mic, made in the USA. The newer E100 S is up around $400.00, at least. You'll probably get lucky and get the E100 for under $150.00. Ask the seller if he knows about the re-chargeable battery inside the thing--very important. That mic is very good; the original Equitek line (100, 200, 300--especially the 300--a tough aquire; it took me months to finally get one) is quite a buy. I've got them all, and they are really fine mics. You also can't go wrong with the CAD M179, another really good mic.
