Pair of 1960's Japanese made Dynamic Mics.
One is a Calrad, the other is a Midland
Calrad DM-21 and Midland 22-211
I know at least on of the mics works. Was able to test it thru the 1/4 cord it came with. The other mic did not work with it's cord. When I tried to swap the cords, the 4 prong end of the mic cord broke. Don't have a way to test either mic now. Would be up to the buyer to either repair whats there, or change the mics of to XLR. These mics are sold as is.
