Hi all,
Although I have no interest in this form of recording, I did notice an AKG =
Harry turn up on eBay the other week. It sold quite cheaply probably becaus=
e the seller said he couldn't guarantee it worked. It was an interesting lo=
t, but a quick bit of research suggested that resulting recordings weren't =
that special.
Cheers
Max
