Vintage 1950's TELEX 253 P.A./Two-Way Communications Mic- working w/good output

Offering a vintage 1950's Telex 253 Crystal push-to-talk Microphone. These mics were manufactured by Turner and licensed to various companies including Telex, and this nis the same model of the Turner 254. (Turner featured that tell-tale "fin" on many in their microphone line.) This one is in excellent shape with a sleek brushed-aluminum casing, and frontal push-to-talk bar with "lock-on" level on the side. It's hardwired to a 12' long multi-conductor cable capable of triggering both a two-way transmitter and audio function, but the 1/4" male phono plug is currently wired just for audio. (Wiring diagram is intact on the underside.) Testing provides a strong clean hi-z signal from its original factory crystal element. The original retail box is also included. ** Always safe secure packaging and fast fair shipping.
