The Vintage Microphone Database Program
is now Freeware.

It has been used only by the author and is untested.
You may contact me  for support, feedback or any questions.

The interface is convenient but non-intuitive.
Explanations follow

The interface may be rolled up or expanded.
It can be kept on top as well
 

A database of over 300 Microphone Manufacturers is included.
One must First Select a Manufacturer.
All of the available Models are then Displayed.
Selecting a Model will expose pictures, links and data that has been saved.
One may Add, Rename and Delete Manufacturers and Models.
After Selecting a Manufacturer, one can download my personal data files and install them (below).

The Model is displayed.
Clicking on it will generate a Full Screen Display.

 

Selecting Quick Preview brings a larger thumbnail when the mouse moves over the picture.

Various features are incorporated to collect, find, collate and save data.

The Tabbed Icon Loads a customized Web Browser loaded with my
search interests. These can be changed and customized below.
 

The Skunk Icon Pulls up the Options to
customize eBay searches.
Paste the new paths into the fields.

Microphone Database Sub-directory.

and the models will be installed.

into the selected Manufacturer and Model path.
