Vintage RARER 1960's Monarch TM-29 dynamic cardioid microphone Hi Z w Calrad stand and cable Aiwa Olson Lafayette

Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome. You are looking at a gorgeous 1960's Monarch model TM-29 dynamic cardioid microphone with uber cool space age looks and it comes with the period Calrad DS-10 desk stand shown as well as original cable in which to operate. This microphone has a classic "space race" design that was very popular during the 1950's and 60's before the look faded out. If you are looking for something very unique in which to use on the daily...look no farther. This model was sold under a few different Japanese manufactures including Olson and Monarch. This mic is set at high impedance and will be great for a HAM radio set up or for stage work. It has a higher pitched "rockabilly" tone that is mostly void of bass. more mid range in nature. The mic has a uni-directional pattern however so it picks up a bit less background noise. This is a fairly large microphone that has been tested and has 100% signal output with the original element. The mic has a beautiful satin chrome finish with almost zero wear and the black plastic accents are very nice. She's a thing of beauty. The lower pistol grip looks just as nice and the lower switch label is completely legible. On / Off switch works perfectly as does the tension screw. Threads for the stand and cable are perfect. This TM-29 is just about as nice as they come. Mic is easily a 9 on a scale of 1 - 10 physically speaking. The mic comes with it's original 20 foot cable that is soft, pliable and free of damage. It has the standard male 1/4 inch end connector for use with most audio equipment and all guitar amps. MICROPHONE STAND SHOWN IS PART OF THIS SALE... The stand is a period Calrad DS-10 cast iron model that was based on the more common Atlas DS-5 model that is still being sold today. This clone of the DS-5 is virtually identical and in very nice condition. This stand makes a great platform for the mic being quite stable. The 4 inch chrome risers shows zero wear. The original black painted base shows no scratches, scuff marks, paint chips or dents. The 3 original rubber pads are still on the base of the stand and in excellent condition. The stand is appx 5 inches tall X 6 inches wide. With the mic on top it's 10 inches tall. This is a very nice package deal all around. As with all my vintage microphones... 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.
