[Harp-L] astatic MC-151 element

[Jaubrey29@comcast.net]

Take an old 1/4 jack plug wire (mic/guitar cord) and connect (crimp or solder) alligator clips to the lead and the ground. 
Connect clips to each terminal of the element removed from mic and test with your amp. Start with volume off and bring it up slow. Don't put a meter on a crystal element. Great way to test any element or mic going forward. 
Good luck.
