From the seller
Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome.
You are looking at a nice older late 1950's / 60's era Shure 440SL microphone with a magnetic controlled transducer set at high Z which was originally intended as "general purpose" mic for use with dispatch communications.
This mic comes with it's original A88A "push to talk" hand grip in which to activate the mic with an on / off lever. There is also a nice older stand in which to display. It should be noted that while this mic comes with it's original element the mic has a very low output of around 30% and should be used for display, prop or repair purposes only. This will make a very nice display piece anywhere it sits.
Pic # 2 is from an old advertisement showing the mics basic characteristics.
As you can see this mic is in nice overall condition. It shows typical lite lite wear as does the lower Satin chrome A88A handle. The mic head has lite scratches and scuff marks in the original grey paint but the Shure label looks very nice. The satin chrome front grill looks very nice as well as the inner silk screen. The A88A hand grip functions perfectly with just lite scuff marks. Please let the detailed pics be your guide.
The mic comes with the nice desk stand that has a painted cast iron base and a short chrome riser. This stand makes a very stable platform for the 440SL and really compliments it as well.
There is virtually no wear on the stand and it has 3 felt pads to keep it from scratching any surface it sits on. Total dimensions are appx 10 inches tall X 6 inches wide.
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.
