Vintage 1960's V-113 / Fen-Tone DM600 dynamic microphone w cable & Atlas DS-2 stand Olson Monarch Aiwa Calrad Prop repair display

Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome. You are looking at a unique and somewhat rare 1960's era mic called the V-113 that was based on the more common Fen-tone model DM-600 dynamic microphone made with an all metal body and polished chrome finish that closely resembled the classic Astatic 77A model mic. This mic comes with a short mic cable in which to operate and the period Atlas DS-2 model desk stand in which to display. It should be noted right away that the mic is 100% complete and does work but the element is compromised and the signal strength is only about 60%. The mic is not really healthy enough to use as it was intended and should be used for display, prop or repair purposes only. This mic is currently set at high impedance. This mic was originally used for use with a HAM radio set up or other general broadcasting purposes. This is an omni-directional microphone as well. This microphone has a classic mid century, modern design and is quite handsome. Certainly a more aggressive design. There were a few Japanese manufacturers that made this style but the Fen-tone DM-600 is probably the better looking of those that were developed. I have never even heard of the V-113 / IDM-3 brand but apparently they sold this mic for a few years. The IDM-3 has the perfect functioning on off switch. No issues. This will make a very fun display piece despite it's issues. This microphone is free of any dents, deep scratches or fractures. There is just lite pitting on the top of the mic and very lite corrosion on the front screen. The black silk screens beneath are perfect with zero issues. The mic has a perfect working joint mechanism with great tension to get just the angle needed. The two side screws work great and apply tension to the upper head of the mic. The front badge looks very good and completely legible. The short cable for this mic is appx 8 inches long. Soft pliable and in perfect working order. No physical wear and has the standard male XLR end connection for use with most audio equipment. Simply attach any longer XLR cable to your audio equipment as needed. I would rate this microphone physically a solid 8 on a scale of 1 - 10. MICROPHONE STAND SHOWN IS PART OF THIS SALE... The mic stand is an older Atlas desk stand from the 1970's era and perfect for just about any older vintage or modern microphone. The stand is a more aggressive design with a very stable platform. It has the 3 inch chrome riser with built in shock mount that reduces unwanted feedback while you mic is live. Pic # 2 is from an older Atlas catalog showing this particular model. The DS-2 has a built in rubber shock mount to reduce unwanted vibrations while the mic is live. This mic stand is not perfect but it's pretty darn close. It shows just very lite wear. The flat black painted base is aluminum and there is just a couple tiny imperfections. No dents or fractures and the red Atlas logo looks great. The riser shows no wear at all and will accept any screw on mic or mic clip you have. The 4 original pads are still on the bottom of the base and work great. Please let the detailed pics be your guide. This mic stand is great for small and medium sized mics. The stand is appx 5 inches wide X 6 inches deep X 4 inches tall. With the mic on top it's appx 10 inches tall. This stand has the universal 5/8 X 27 thread. This stand is an easy 8 + on a scale of 1 - 10. Some might rate higher. And 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.
