[Harp-L] Re: mic elements

Hi, if anyone has earlier model 99C, 99X, 99W elements, low impedence, from  
14 - 17 ohms, I would be interested in buying them. To most they are useless,  
and even to me, it is a crapshoot when I boost them to hi z, mostly they are 
too  sharp, but I do find one out of 5 to be superb. I will not give out any 
info on  what transformers I use. They must be made in USA, contact me off list 
please.  BTW, 99E elements are dead in the water at 200 ohms. They do make a 
$50  transformer kit, but the element still sounds like crap. I am sure if 
many of  you ebay hawkers have bought CR or CM's, you got one at some point, 
seeing as  now everyone knows where to find elements. Still a crapshoot, no matter 
if you  get a "working" CR or CM. My friend Chuck Gurner is the only 
reputable person I  know who can boost the elements signal, or bring them back from 
the dead, if  possible, as if the tiny wires inside are damaged, no chance. His 
email again  is: _cgurney@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx (mailto:cgurney@xxxxxxxxxxxxx) 
I have been working with Chuck for well over a year, very fair, if you look  
at _www.greenbullets.com_ (http://www.greenbullets.com)   website,  and see 
one of these elements completely apart, you will appreciate his work  even more. 
I only sell my custom turner small shelled mic shells loaded with the  
hottest possible elements to my amp customers, as they cost me $250 to build, I  
sell them for $275 now. I whopping $25 markup for hours of time. But, they are  
the best, no 99A, 99S, 99B elements, all tested out of shell first before  
install. Many 99H or 99G CR or CM's just do not have the full output and tone,  
and if Chuck can't help them, they get tossed. My reputation is too valuable to  
me to put them on ebay. They would work well in a hopped up amp, so if I do  
start to sell them, I would explain that.
