Oktava MK-319 Microphones(2)

[mje]

I bought these two several year ago and never used them (I have a third I'm keeping). They seem to go for about $120-160 on eBay, so I thought I'd offer them to fellow TBers for $100 each, postpaid, in the continental US.

They're very good for recording acoustic instruments and voice, and better than most of the new Chinese large diaphragm condenser microphones.

+1 on the Oktavas. I wish you could still get these easily. They're Russian made, and they're actually comparable to Neumanns. I didn't say "as good as," I just said "comparable."

Wish I had a job right now, I'd snatch 'em both from you.

Smoof has got dibs on one- that leaves one more. FYI, these don't include a fancy shock mount, just a simple rigid stand mount.

I may be interested in one to mod - would the price include shipping to Oregon?

Also there seems to be an issue with Chinese made knock offs - do you know if they're Russian made? - There's something about a serial number stamped next to the xlr connector. There are other clues but I don't know if they're definitive like flat head screws on the switch plate - there're a couple sellers on e-bay that give some information

still available?
