Vintage 1960s RCA MA-2306 model microphone desk stand for BK1A 74B & BK-11A mics # 1

Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome. You are looking at a somewhat rare and unique RCA MA-2306 model microphone desk stand made specifically for the RCA BK1A 74B and BK-11A microphones. This was a late 1950's mid 1960's era stand with an all metal construction and umber brown painted finish. back when RCA sold their microphones you could chose from a few different stands to support those mics and the MA-2306 was a nice addition though you didn't need this stand for your BK1A or BK-11A. If you do have either of those mics and you wish to have a period correct model to support you mic then this is a very rare opportunity to grab one as these very rarely pop up by themselves. Pic # 2 shows this very model in an old RCA catalog I have. Pic # 3 & 4 shows how the stand looks with the other RCA mics that were compatible with the MA-2306. You'll see that the stand has the large thumb screw on the bottom of the base that allows you to insert the the BK1A or BK-11A and securing the mics in place firmly. One the mics are inserted you can then swivel your mic at any angle and the base will keep the mic from tipping easily as it provides a very stable platform. The base is appx an 1 1/2 inches tall X 4 1/2 inches wide. It weighs about a pound. The base comes with the original rubber gasket / pad on the bottom and it works perfectly. As you can see there is extremely lite wear on the painted finish of this base. It's free of any corrosion, dents or fractures and about as nice as you could ask for. If your RCA mic is extremely nice then this will be an ideal option for you. Mic stand is an easy 8 + cosmetically on a scale of 1 - 10. I will be listing two more of these very soon that are a bit rougher looking if you need a stand that has wear that's comparable to your mic. I used the RCA BK1A to give you an idea how it seats in the base that is for same. RCA MICROPHONE SHOWN IS NOT PART OF THIS SALE...USED FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY.
