WHY BUY "UNTESTED" MICS? THIS MIC WORKS GREAT! SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO DEMONSTRATION.
TURNER CHALLENGER CX BULLET HARP MIC with WORKING ORIGINAL CRYSTAL ELEMENT & BOX!
1940s/50s Space Age Beauty from Cedar Rapids, IA
SWEET crystal tone, all original. This shell is in EXCELLENT condition, as you can see. The factory spring-loaded screw-on connector is super cool. No cable is included, but they are easily available. The 40s or 50s Brush crystal has a tone you will not believe. Actually, you can hear it in the video, so you can believe it. It is really pretty strong. Not 100%, but a good 85% strength. This is a tremendous studio mic. The tone is like warm butter, yet it cuts very nicely, especially with a little delay. How can I describe it? I can't. That is why I make the videos. I have never found a CX with a working element before this one. Grab it! They sure don't grow on trees.
HEAR THIS MIC DEMONSTRATED THROUGH A FENDER BASSMAN AND A 1954 VALCO, WITH AND WITHOUT MYLONE WOLF HARP DELAY:
Shipping insurance is on me. This item will be packed with the utmost care and is guarnteed to be working when it leaves my hands. Being a fragile vintage crystal, however, there will be no returns or refunds whatsoever on this item.

TESTIMONIALS FROM THE PROS:
"If you thought great sounding vintage harp mics and elements were extinct, you're wrong! Ron Sunshine of Deluxe Vintage Mics hooked me up with 2 mics that sound as good as anything I've tried in over 40 years of playing harp! Also, the guy's a prince to deal with...and, he was definitely not exaggerating about the sound of these mics!" -RICK ESTRIN (Rick Estrin and the Night Cats)
"I've known Ron for twenty years--we were both up-and-coming harp players on the New York blues scene, way back when. And when I got married a few years ago, Ron's swinging combo got the party jumping. He's not just a fantastic singer and a dynamic musician, though: he's a smart and conscientious purveyor of harmonica microphones. When I told him what I was looking for, he nailed it on the first try. How did he do that? Damned if I know, but I'm having big fun with the new mic. Ron's the guy." -ADAM GUSSOW (ModernBluesHarmonica.com)

All sales are final unless otherwise noted. All electronic items are tested and described to the best of our ability, and demonstrated via YouTube video whenever possible. We have received more than our share of garbage in the mail that we purchased on eBay. The videos we post are intended to show that the actual item you are bidding on WORKS. Little compressed internet videos cannot convey the true sound of a mic (until we get a better camera!). You have to experience that for yourself. But at least we can show that it works.
Zero Feedback Bidders are Welcome. If I'm not mistaken, we all start out with zero feedback. You're not getting the item until it is paid for, anyway, so where is the risk?
These items are sold AS IS. If we don't have the means to test something, we will say so. We value our 100% positive feedback rating, and aim to keep it that way.
We strive to make every experience on eBay a great one! If you have an issue that needs to be resolved please email us prior to leaving feedback so that we may make it right. Our system is set up to leave positive feedback after we have been left positive feedback.
* * * * * DSR STARS * * * * *
eBay's new DSR star system is crucial to us sellers. We kindly ask that you leave all 5 stars when leaving feedback. We offer very low shipping rates, and most times free shipping just as an incentive to receive all 5 stars. 4 out of 5 stars can really mar our eBay status, listing exposure and seller fee discounts. If there is an incident that may not merit all 5 stars, please email us and we'll rectify the situation promptly.
Dig that. We sellers are heavily penalized by eBay for a 4-star rating!
Q: Hey what is the difference between the CX and BX
model .. thank you blues man A: Hey.
B is brown paint, C is brushed chrome. D is dynamic and X is crystal. In most cases the Xs had screw-on connectors, and the Ds had attached cables. I think that covers it.
Thanks for your interest.
Ron
