HARP MICS
The following mics are all suitable for use by harp players.
I am not a mic builder. I find, repair, refurbish and offer working vintage mics with minimal modifications, usually limited to installation of new elements
and/or gaskets and replacement of defective connectors. I do not install volume controls and do not do repaint jobs. Sometimes I acquire
mics that have been repainted and/or have volume controls already installed. If a volume control is working, I leave it alone, but if it
is defective, I remove it. My goal is to supply dependable vintage mics to working harp players. All mics are guaranteed to be in working condition when shipped.
Prices are usually at least 30% lower than the same models offered by other vintage harp mic suppliers. Photos of individual mics are available upon request.
Please check the Endorsements and Testimonials at the bottom of the "About Pete" page. List is current as of 7/30/10

knobs, separate foot switch jacks for tremelo and reverb. Has 3 input jacks with tube complement as follows: 5Y3-6V6-12AX7-12AX7-12AX7-12AX7.
Copper colored grille cloth and black tolex covering. Speaker is a 12 inch alnico by Zenith. Sounds great, better for guitar than harp, but a
new Jensen speaker could change that equation. Pickup only, as this beast is too heavy for me to ship. A bargain at $250.
Premier
Late Sixties Model 5530 solid state combo amp with Germanium transistors, 12 inch replacement speaker
and new Switchcraft input jacks, with a great tremolo sound. A fine practice amp, with the best tone I've ever
heard from a solid state amp, for both guitar and harp. $100 plus $&H

It has a Stromberg-Carlson decal on the inner lip of the cone and the bracket is embossed with
"University Loudspeakers, White Plains New York, Made in USA". Some paint drops and scuffs,
but still pretty fine looking. Probably Fifties era, when they made stuff to last. $15 plus S&H

+/- 15dB per band. Clean, like new, works perfectly. $55 plus S&H

GUITARS
Telestar
Early Sixties Japanese import, made back before they had a good handle on neck construction.
The original bolt-on neck had a truss rod, but that didn't prevent permanent bowing, and it was replaced
with another made by the same outfit (Teisco), but with only a "steel reinforced neck" sticker on the
headstock. Guess what? The replacement bowed too, though not as badly as the original, and this axe is
cool for slide. Along the way the cheesy original bridge disappeared, so an upgrade Ibanez
tune-o-matic style was installed. The body is the original gold sparkle finish with the wildest fake
tortoise shell pickguard ever. One single coil pickup (white) with tone and volume controls - this is
a prime candidate for the "Hound Dog Taylor Tribute Axe of The Month" award! Sounds better
than you would expect. Comes with a funky chipboard case, plus the original neck, in case you want to hang
it on the wall or do a heat treatment. Photos supplied upon request. $75 plus S&H
Harmony
Early Sixties Harmony Stratotone H-45 with Holiday logo. Has the fabulous "Hershey bar" pickup w/tone and volume
controls and the "take-off" slide switch, original bridge, tailpiece, and perfect white pickguard with no chips. Neck is
straight, frets show no wear. Finish is red/black sunburst with no scratches or chips, just a couple of wear marks on the
back, but no bare wood showing. Body is bound front and back. Tuners replaced with individual chrome closed back Klusons.
Slight wear on back of the neck. From the front it looks like it just came out of the shipping carton. Tone? Ha, the best
ever, absolutely outrageous. It a prime candidate for open-tuned slide, but the action is fine and it can be played easily
in standard tuning. Brian Jones used one of these with the Rolling Stones for a while early on. Comes in a rectangular hard
shell case. Photos supplied upon request. $325 plus S&H
Mid-Sixties Harmony/Silvertone "parts guitar" (H-46 style) composed mainly of Stratotone ingredients. Sunburst finish neck is straight
with no fret wear, has new Harmony headstock badge plus original bone nut and new Kluson tuners. Bound body has two later style
DeArmond mustache type pickups with adjustable pole pieces, custom white pick guard with original Harmony black knob tone and
volume controls, original bridge and tailpiece, Harmony 3-way pickup selector switch and original gold fleck/black Silvertone
finish. Also has new chrome Les Paul type jack plate to reinforce original cord jack. A fine blues axe with the fabulous DeArmond
tone. Comes with a new high quality chipboard case with plush lining. Photos supplied upon request. $260 + $&H
Late Sixties Harmony Model H010 Monterey mandolin, an A Style type with an arched solid spruce top. Back and
sides are laminated maple. Sunburst finish, bound top, original black pickguard and a new upgraded compensated
rosewood bridge make this a fine instrument, visually and tonewise. Comes with new hard shell case. Photos supplied
upon request. $250 plus S&H
