Old vintage mics?

[Sethis]

Okay so I just stumbled onto 2 mics. Two apparently really old mics. Probably from 1975-1985 or something. Apparently the standard connector was not XLR back then so I can't really test them atm. Need some kind of adapter...

Sennheiser MD408

Sennheiser MD416

So has anyone used these? Are they good for anything?

Gearslutz is a good source for old mic info. Google: sennheiser md408 site:gearslutz.com

Most mic repair/modification companies can make you an adapter or install an XLR connection.

Or he could just get an XLR to tuchel adapter off ebay.
