Default Sony F87 Mics?

Lance McCollum just picked up a pair of these for ten bucks. He said
they supposedly came from a Sony reel-to-reel deck. They have 1/4" plugs
on 'em.

Are they unbalanced omni condensors? If so, what power do they want?

Anything else one might want to know about 'em?


If they are from the reel-to-reel era, they are more likely
dynamics which require no power. Can't remember if they
are directional or omni? Certainly unbalanced if they use
1/4-inch phone. But could likely be re-wired for balanced
if it is worth the effort(?)


Thanks, Richard. I'll call Lance and see if they output without some
kind of power.
