Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome.

 You are looking at a classic older general purpose microphone made by Electro Voice in the 1950's. This is the earlier 2nd generation 630 that has the polished chrome housing and looks pretty good overall but it no longer works and should be used for display, prop or repair purposes only. It comes with the Atlas DS7 model stand shown however in which to display.

 Pic # 2 shows this very model in an old E.V catalog I have showing the mics basic characteristics.

 Pic # 3 shows Jerry Lee Lewis using one of these very mics. Probably used an E.V 630 singing Great balls of Fire at some point in his career.

 This mic was typically used for dispatch and broadcasting purposes but was even used for singing for live events as seen in pic # 3. The photo is of Jerry Lee Lewis.

 The mic housing / head is reminiscent of the jet engines being used by several American and Soviet fight planes of the 1940's and 50's. American mic companies often emulated anything that was popular from decade to decade and the jet age certainly captured the attention of America for many, many years. The look was very popular but by the 1960's the look was dated and just not as popular as the earlier models were.

 Despite the non-working status of this mic it is 100% complete inside and out.

 The 70 + year old microphone has typical wear as you can see in pictures in the form of scratches and scuff marks but the mic is free of any pitting or dents. The threads for the cable and stand are perfect with zero stripping. The E.V label looks very good and completely legible.  Overall this piece is an easy 7 on a scale of 1 - 10.

 The joint mechanism works fine with plenty of tension. The on / off switch works great as well. Just needs a replacement element.

      MICROPHONE STAND SHOWN IS PART OF THIS SALE...

 The mic comes with a period 1960's / 70's era Atlas DS7 model desk stand.

 This model has a painted cast iron base with dual chrome risers that give you the ability to adjust the height with and the stand works perfectly despite the wear.

 This design was very practical for it's time and makes a very stable platform due to the weight and width of the base. The Atlas DS-7 has been around since about 1950 and it's still being made today.

  The stands top and bottom chrome risers show scratches and tiny chrome loss. The center clutch mechanism looks great and works just as well. The painted cast iron base looks pretty nice as well with just lite wear.

 The stand has the 3 original cork pads on the bottom of the case and they are in excellent shape. 

 This will make a great display piece anywhere it sits in the home, studio or office.
