Vintage 1950's / 60's Shure CR20SLT dynamic microphone Low Z w Shure A88A, S36 & cable # 1

Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome. You are looking at a rarer late 1950's / 1960's Shure CR20SLT microphone with controlled reluctance transducer set at Low Z. These were originally intended as "general purpose" mics for dispatch and communications and can still be used for such. The mic has a very "rockabilly" and dirtier tone in nature despite being Low Z giving many musicians that 1930's - 50's experience. Most of these old Shure bullet mics were Hi Z but this particular model was specifically designed to be used with Low Z compatible equipment. It comes with the A88A "pull to talk" lower handle, S-36 stand and short cable shown in which to operate. The original A88A "pull to talk" hand grip is used to activate the mic with an on / off lever which be used only when needed to go live or you can depress the lever and push down on it making it live hands free 100% of the time. A very clever design. As you can see this mic is in very good condition overall with typical lite exterior wear and pretty nice considering it's age. The original painted finish has paint chips on the base and mic with lite scratches and scuff marks as well but the Shure label looks very nice and completely legible. The satin chrome front grill looks very nice as well as does the inner silk screen. The A88A hand grip functions perfectly and the satin chrome finish is very good with just lite scuff marks and tiny pitting. Please let the detailed pics be your guide. The original controlled reluctance element is still inside the mic housing. The Low Z elements are not as strong as the Hi Z elements but it's still quite good and very usable. The S-36 model stand really compliments the mic and makes for a very stable platform. It's free of any dents or fractures and it comes with the original front Shure logo, brass mounting bolt, cable clamp and 5 rubber pads. The mic comes with the 3 pin to male Amphenol XLR cable connector which is just 8 inches long. It's soft, pliable and in excellent physical and operating condition. It should be noted however that the XLR cable you choose to use as an extension MUST have a male 1/4 inch end connector to your audio equipment. If you use an XLR to XLR cable as an extension it won't work. I'd rate this mic with stand a true 6 + on a scale of 1 - 10 though some would rate higher. You have everything you need. Will make a very fun mic to use for many situations and a great display piece as well. As always... I can promise you will be happy with it for the price paid. If not...I have a no hassle return policy. The shipping will be on you as I believe that's fair but the purchase price would be refunded. Simply return in the same nice condition...period. Check my rating. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS are welcome as well. Buyer must pay within 24 hours or an unpaid case will be opened due to too many unpaid mics lately. Domestic buyer will get priority shipping. If you have any questions feel free to ask and...thanks for looking.
