Jumble Sale: Mics, Footswitches, Speakers, Parts

I recently took a number of items in for trade. All are in good working order and ready to be re-homed. I will get these listed in my inventory soonish.

First-up is a Beyerdynamic M300N vocal dynamic mic. West German-made, 1980s, and in really, really good shape. It sounds great, too -- very clean and full and without the midsy hump of most dynamics. It's getting close to the sound of my nicer Sennheiser vocal dynamics.

Ok, next-up is a more-recent (1990s?) Shure SM57 -- good for drums and amps -- in good order but with some scratching up and down the barrel.

Next, we have a pair of British-made Celestion G10S 50w 10" speakers. These were being used in a PA but test-out nice and sound good. I'd use them in a guitar cab, no problem.

The second one has some sort of waxy buildup on the cone but it doesn't sound any different.

$75 shipped for the pair

Uh, huh? Next is a section of NOS Fender grey-silver-black grill cloth from the late '70s or early '80s. It's 53x38" and two smaller sections (one aged and pulled out of an old amp, clearly) are included as well.

Finally, how about some Peavey Bandit/Classic footswitches from the late '80s or early '90s? Both work well but show wear and tear. The first one has cracked edging on its snap-on foot and more scratches while the second one is a lot cleaner and has no damage to the box.

For special attention is this 1910s/1920s Gibson mandolin pickguard -- the last transaction on this never went through and I forgot all about it until I spotted this on the piano today. It's in great shape with only the usual 100-year-old pickwear to the top but it does not have its bracket assembly to clamp it to the instrument's side.

How about a set of celluloid 5-string banjo pegs? These friction guys came out of something like an SS Stewart or nicer-quality Buckbee. They're in good shape and would look great on an old gut-stringer. They're meant to look like ivory but are molded celluloid from around 1880s/1890s.
