Hi,
I acquired an "Astatic Golden Eagle D104 base microphone"
as part of a trade for some audio studio equipment. The
mic is in good physical condition, and seems to work
fine (tested it). It takes a 9V battery in the base for
the preamplifier, and has a 6 wire coiled cord.

The mic looks like a lollipop, with a bald eagle etched
into the back of the mic head. The mic base includes a
serial numbered tag, as well as a CB Radio "callsign"
plate. The mic is entirely gold metal.

Any idea what this is worth to a CB enthusiast? Guess
it would look great sitting next to a big CB base station --
it certainly shined up nicely with a little car chrome
polish and a soft cotton cloth.

thanks for any insight,
Joe

The D104 Golden Eagle was made in 1976 by a company called Astatic to commemorate the united states Bicentennial (200 years ) the gold finish is 22 carat gold plating in as new condition boxed cleaning cloth and paperwork, that mic is worth around £200

hope that helps
