I stumble upon many vintage mics and other machinist tools on ebay often. Recently I've been contemplating on taking a risk and purchasing some more mics to add to my collection. But I'm worried that I may get something that's way out of calibration.
The description of pretty much every mic I look at doesn't give much detail. Just about cosmetic dings and what not. Nothing about comparing them to gage blocks or anything. What are some things to look for when looking at used mics on ebay? I feel as if it's almost worth it to take a gamble on good ol tools compared to buying Chinese stuff. What does the hive have to say about this? Help me spend some money!!!
