Testing:
This microphone is untested. We did not have the proper vintage cable/connector available to connect it to our testing equipment. Because it could not be tested, no representation or guarantee is made regarding output, functionality, crystal element condition, frequency response or tonal characteristics.

Please note that vintage crystal microphone elements can deteriorate with age, so the microphone is being sold in its present condition.

Very nice vintage appearance overall. The metal housing and grille show normal scratches, marks, oxidation and finish wear consistent with age. The grille appears straight and intact, the internal screen is present, and the Turner identification plate remains readable. Switch and tilt hardware are present as shown.

No microphone cable is included.
