Vintage 1950's ASTATIC DR-10S Dynamic Microphone (upgraded) incl desk stand

Description

Offering a
vintage 1950's ASTATIC DR-10S DYNAMIC MICROPHONE, upgraded sound, includes desk stand and cable
. Astatic Corporation shared some heady days with Shure, Electro Voice and Turner over decades. This DR-10 model might have been Astatic's attempt to compete with Shure's wildly popular 55 "Fatboy", and is relatively the same size. The design was attractive enough, but lacked in sound quality having a crystal pickup element. (Over time, crystals typically fail from heat and moisture, as did this one.) We have removed that dead element and
installed a new dynamic element greatly improving its sonic profile
. The
physical condition of the mic is excellent
with barely a sign of use/age. The original interior wind cloth is good front and back and the pivot joint holds the tilt angle securely. The mic head plugs into the F-11 adapter with on-off switch, which threads to the
included heavy based desk stand.
The short
screw-on connector to male XLR cable is also included
. (We can swap for an 1/4" male phono plug if you prefer at no charge.) The mic with stand is 12" tall, and the base is 6" in diameter, and is ready to plug and go!
