The Shure website says this is a 1957 vintage based on their serial number system. It says Evanston Ill which I read started in 1956.

Includes a 3 pin cable that works well and is approximately 18 feet long. It's in pretty good cosmetic condition with some marks and pitting but you can check out the pictures. Actually I think it looks better in person than the pictures show. I didn't try to rub out any of the marks because I'm not sure about the proper way to do cleanup on this metal.

What I assume is the original black mesh looks perfect. Shined a light to inspect it and saw no breaks of any kind.

I set the 3-way HML switch to L and plugged it into a guitar amp and it worked great. Good lows through highs and strong sound.

I've had this around for a long time covered on a small stand (not included) and just tested it once in a while over the years. It's a good one!

Message me any questions.
