From the seller
Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome.
You are looking at a desirable 99H86 Controlled Reluctance element made by Shure Brothers in the early 1950's and known as the "Black Label" model. These elements were made for years and were originally sold with entry level microphones primarily used for dispatch and general broadcasting purposes.
The element came out of a Shure 510-C (Chicago made) model mic that was in very rough physical condition so the element was recovered to use for another mic. This example is in excellent working condition and comes with it's original plastic cover.
Today these make excellent harp mic elements due to their smaller size and dirty, muddy tone.
As you can see right away it's a Hi Z 99G86 for sure. The last 3 digits are 350. These labels are often badly faded. Again, this element is set at High Z with crazy strong output.
As you can see this element looks very nice and there are two wires protruding from the side which is a positive and negative that can be easily soldered to any other wiring. It has the original plastic housing as well.
The element is appx 1 5/8 inch across X 1 inch deep. These elements can be used in most vintage mics from over the years.
Again, the signal strength is 100% with zero issue. Strong and clear...ready to go.
Priced very reasonably as well.
As with all my vintage microphones...
