Hey Rabbi

Yesterday I went to an estate sale in the northern 'burbs of Detroit. I went because of a thing I spotted in one of the pics that made me drive 100 miles to it. Didn't get that but I walked out of there $100 poorer.

Went back today to find more crap was pulled out and put on display, most of it is worth scrap but the three things I got today were a bunch of military connectors, a few power supplies and a box of telex mics.

In the box, there are 66ts, 602ts a couple clark headsets (need work on them) but two 205 differential mics, which I heard about but never saw. Everything works, tried it out on the bench.

Have you heard of a 205 before?

 

It isn't an EV, it has a rounded front cover and a telex back plate on it, I found the EV cut sheet for their version of a 205 in my collection but nothing on the Telex version in it or on the other mic sites.

Oh well, it maybe a contracted mic for the CIA or FBI or some other phantom agency.

 

Yeah you could be right, I did get about ten different military mics in the box and some unusual headsets with the collection. I id'd maybe 80% of them thanks to a book that came along with the collection.
