Vintage RARE 1940's SHURE 50B "Rocket" RIBBON Microphone-100% original, works

Offering a vintage and RARE 1940's Shure Model 50B "Rocket" RIBBON Microphone. Quoting the Shure data sheet, "The case is attractively streamlined for improved acoustical performance and for modern appearance, suitable for public address, recording, call systems, communications radio telephone equipment, and similar applications." These Rocket mics seldom pop up for sale, there is some mild signs of age on the aluminum casing, but still shows quite nicely. No dents or broken ribs, and a pivot joint that holds the tilt angle firmly in place. Best of all, it still tests good with its original RIBBON element! You can hear a voice sample on the listing video...extra preamplification required. The proper 3 pin male Amphenol adapter cable is included...just all your XLR extension cable and you're set to go. (If you don't need the cable, we can trade that for free shipping.) A basic display desk stand is also included. ** Always fair prices, fair shipping, great service!
