OK, this is purely trivial :-)
I can't recognize the mic that's visable in Lennon's picture on the
"Let it be" album cover.

Anyone know?

It was appearantly an unobtrusive Neumann KM84i (typically used in TV),
which features a small capsule on the end of an extension tube, with
the mic's preamp located at the bottom near the floor (also visible in
some of the Rooftop concert footage).

Ah, thanks a lot. The KM84's I've seen don't have the longitudinal thin
ports or the basket, so I discounted it. This is an older incarnation
then?

I don't have the album cover in front of me, and it's been years since I
saw it, but could it perhaps be a Sennheiser 431?

Don't think so, this look's superficialy like a 58.
Maybe those are scratches under the basket, and not ports.

There are several shots of Lennon with a microphone on the Let It Be cover.
On the front he's singing into some sort of ball-end mic, but he's singing
into the side. No idea what that one is. Inside he's singing into something
with a long, skinny foam sock on it, and that could be the Sennheiser
Scott's referring to.

On the rooftop, however, both John and Paul are singing into condenser mics
with long extension tubes between the capsule and the amplifier. The mic
bodies look too long for KM80-series, though; I'd guess AKG C451 or perhaps
C60.

Peace,
Paul

The rooftop mic is what I immediately thought of, and I always heard it
was some sort of AKG.

Sennheiser MD408?

It's an AKG C28-A or B (tube)
