Re: [Harp-L] Sonny Jr. / Cruncher

I'm jealous!

The real reason I'm writing is because of the .."The crystal element in my
biscuit (made by Stephen Edwards)..."

I have a mic shell which is known as an Astatic, slimmer than a "biscuit",
and marked x-10 on the back panel.  I'd love to find an element with grunt
to put inside there. CM's and similar are too "fat."  And some way to put a
connector on it. It's been in my "junque-box" for a while and it's getting
lonely in there.  It wants to go with my JT-30's and Green Bullets out to
play.
