Vintage 1960's Lafayette 99-4524 dynamic harp microphone High Z harp mic w accessories Calrad Aiwa Olson Shield # 1

        Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome.

 You are looking at a very nice and somewhat obscure microphone made by Lafayette back in the 1950's or 60's that comes with an original chrome desk stand, cable and box shown. This is a dynamic model with strong output and great for any Ham Radio and even better as a harp mic due to it's High Z setting.

 This is the Lafayette 99-4524 model which is a small mic that's the size of a very small chicken egg.

 There were quite a few Japanese manufactures that sold mics that were either identical with a different badge that were identical to the Lafayette model. The Aiwa DM-14 was one of them and these are beautifully designed. These were small, lite weight, rugged mics that were easy to transport due to their compact size. This 99-4524 has an all metal body with beautiful polished chrome grill, painted body and detachable stand.

 This mic is very easy to cup in the hands which is why using this with a harmonica is a perfect choice. Again, the signal strength is very strong. Like new and has a dirtier tone to it that's void of bass as you would expect from a Hi Z dynamic mic. Like a crystal mic on steroids. The mic is omni-directional as well picking up a bit more background noise.

 This mic has virtually no wear as you can see. The Lafayette badge looks extremely nice as well as does the front chrome grill. The mic is free of tarnish or any unwanted odors. 

 You'll notice that there is a built in short cable. It's appx 5 feet long. Soft, pliable and as good as the day this mic was sold. You'll see that there is a male 1/4 inch end connector as well.   This mic was stored in ideal conditions and should last another 70 years easy.

 This mic comes with the original adjustable chrome desk stand. It's in perfect working condition and has the mic clip in which the mic seats. The clip grips the mic firmly too. No wear on the stand or clip. You can get just about any angle or direction needed as the stand has several joint mechanisms.

 You'll notice that the original box is also included. It's in pretty good shape and a great place to store the items when not in actual use. Very good for resale value as well.

 This mic is easily a 9 on a scale of 1 - 10 cosmetically speaking. It will make a very fine display piece and will great for using daily.

            As with all my vintage microphones...
