I have a few microphones in my stash of junk that I've used over the years for live work, but I'm not sure if any of them are really any good. I believe they're anywhere from 20 to 50 (the Shure) years old. Anybody know anything about any of these?

AKG D190E
Audio-Techna AT801
Audio-Techna AT802
Audio-Techna AT811
Shure Model 540 Sonodyne II

AKG D190E decent but never that popular...about $65-75 used

AT802 originally sold for about $75. Pretty decent mic that would probably be the equivalent of a $250-300 mic today.

AT811 a good general purpose mic. Might be nice for recording acoustic guitar...about $75 used

Don't know anything about the other two.
