Vintage 1960's Turner S510 / 500 dynamic cardioid Satin Chrome Dual Z microphone w accessories # 2

Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome. You are looking at a very interesting and beautiful Turner model S-510 Dynamic cardioid microphone from the 1960's complete with a mic clip, cable in which to operate as well as the vintage metal mic case in which to store the items. Turner came out with this 500 model series of mic in the 1960's and was part of their modern line up of hand held mics intended to compete with the heavy hitters such as Shure Brothers And Electro Voice. It was a very practical design being easy to hold and had a very nice sound overall. Probably not as good as the Shure 545 of that period or the E.V 676 but it was Turner's shining star. It does have excellent sound quality being uni-directional. This is a dual Z mic but it's currently set at High impedance with a smooth, clean tone. Pic # 3 shows this very model in an old Turner catalog. This mic will be great for the HAM radio and other basic communications. If you want more base from the mic you'll have to reconfigure the end connector to an XLR and properly wire that connector. Again, this is currently set at High Z. The 500 series had a much more elegant style then the more aggressive Shure 545 and used a 4 pin XLR type connection. These mics tend to hold up very well with age so they seemed to have had a good quality build but many of these had the Turner 4 pin style cables which can be harder to come by today. Just like Shure Brother's who offered their 545 model mic with the lower pistol grip (545S) Turner did the same. I actually have a 500 with the lower pistol grip for sale here on Ebay and it works great. This was the regular model however. This S-510 has been thoroughly cleaned and tested. Signal strength is 100% with zero issue. The die cast zinc alloy body comes with the satin chrome finish. The screens are perfect and I replaced the inner foam pop filter as it was all but gone. I cleaned the 4 pin XLR connection as well ensuring a perfect signal once the cable is attached. You can see it's in very good overall physical condition with just typical scratches and scuff marks. Zero dents, engravings or corrosion. The mic is appx 7 1/2 inches long X 1 1/2 inch wide at the tip and about average weight for a mic of this size. A very practical design. This S-510 mic came with the longer handle that incorporated the on / off switch. The switch works just as it should with no issues. The aftermarket mic clip is included. It shows just lite wear and works perfectly. It holds the mic snug allowing a wide degree of tilt up and down and will screw onto any desk or floor stand. S-510 comes with an original 20 foot cable that's in very nice condition. It has the 4 pin XLR connection for the mic. The cable is soft, pliable and in perfect working order. It has the vintage male 1/4 inch end connector for use with most audio equipment and all guitar amplifiers. The mic comes with the vintage metal case in which to store your items. The case has a practical carrying handle and locking mechanism. It has the original black paint scheme. I added two new foam inner pads to keep the mic safe and snug. It's a very rugged design and compliments the mic nicely. Plenty of room inside for everything. The case shows just typical wear on the paint but it's a great accessory to have to keep these items safe from damage. You'll appreciate this combo deal. If you demand one of the finer working S-510 models out there then this one will do you justice. MICROPHONE STAND SHOWN IS NOT PART OF THIS SALE AND USED FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY...
