Vintage 1960's Astatic 10D dynamic microphone Hi Z Chrome w F-11 adapter & Astatic stand harp mic D104 T3 DNHZ

Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome. You are looking at a 1960's era Astatic 10-D model dynamic microphone set at high impedance and comes complete with it's original F-11 adapter and a period Astatic E-5 model desk stand in which to display. This was a good quality "general purpose" dynamic microphone and was an affordable alternative to some of the more sophisticated dynamic cardioid mics of that era. It just happens to make an excellent harp mic as well with it's dirtier High Z tone. Great for the Ham radio as well. Pic # 2 is from an old catalog I have showing the mics basic price and characteristics. This mic has an omni-directional pattern. After 60 + years of use this 10-D still has an excellent working signal. Again, set at high impedance which means it basically lacks bass in it's tone. It has a higher pitched sound. These mics have a classic "rockabilly" vibe that many musicians and harmonica players are looking for today. I would rate the signal strength at 100%. You won't have any issues with this mic and the element is well secured. This 10-D model had that classic deco look that was very popular in the 1930's to 1950's before the design lost appeal and was eventually phased out. Far more classy than flashy and looks quite elegant when you appreciate the lines on it. They certainly don't build these mics like they used too. The 10-D is a rugged all metal construction with a polished chrome body and chrome front grill. This unit has been thoroughly tested and cleaned. As you can see the polished chrome has some lite pitting on the top of the head but otherwise is quite clean. Zero dings or dents in the finish. The black screen is free of any holes, odors or rips. Joint mechanism works nicely and allows for a smooth sliding adjustment. The Astatic badge is present and completely legible. The mic screws onto the lower F-11 adapter. The mic is a true 8 on a scale of 1 - 10. The Astatic F-11 adapter is in great shape as well and is needed to operate the mic. Comes with standard male Switchcraft 1/4 inch end connector for use with most modern audio equipment. The cable is a short 4 feet in length. The cable is soft, pliable and free of any cracks or dry rot. The Astatic F-11 adapter with cable will allow you to screw this mic onto any American microphone stand though one is already provided. The stand is a period Astatic E-5 model from the 1960's or 70's era and perfect for just about any screw on type microphone. It's light weight but has a low center of gravity making this a great platform for most larger, heavier mics. Not the prettiest example I have come across but it will get the job done and doesn't look too shabby overall. The upper chrome stem shows typical wear in the form of lite pitting and scratches. The base shows wear in the form of heavier scratches and scuff marks but it's free of any dents or fractures. The Atlas badge is still present after all these years of use. Please let the detailed pics be your guide. The 3 original pads were missing so new ones were applied. This stand has the universal 5/8 X 27 thread. This stand is an easy 7 on a scale of 1 - 10. Some would rate higher or lower. If you don't need the stand I can sell the mic for $135.00 on it's own. I do combine shipping on all of items in case you need anything else at all.
