Vintage 1940s SHURE 708A Crystal Microphone , working w/cable & stand (Hear it)

     Offering a vintage 1940's Shure model 708A "Zeppelin" Crystal Microphone, hailed by Shure as "one of the sharpest looking and good sounding general purpose microphones of the mid-20th century"! There was a lot of mic design experimentation going on at that time; designs based on car grills, rockets, searchlights, skyscrapers, and even this one...nicknamed the "Zeppelin", for it's resemblance to the awesome blimp/airships of the era. 

     This mic came to use extremely weathered requiring an overall repaint and pinstriping. This mic is operating with its original crystal element, providing super hot output and typical crystal audio profile, dominant midrange with bass roll-off. (Check out an audio sample on the listing video.) The Shure accessory push-to-talk button functions well, the restored Shure S36 desk stand is included, plus 3' cable to male 1/4" phono plug.
