Vintage 1940's Webster Chicago 1245 Dynamic Microphone, works w/cable & stand

Description: Offering a vintage 1940's era Webster-Chicago Corporation Microphone. This is a working unit...the old dead crystal element has been removed and a new working dynamic element installed producing strong output and clean vintage fidelity favoring mid to high end response. This model 1245 is a chromed unit with some signs of wear, but still very presentable. The casing is hinged at the metal support yoke with side thumb nuts to control the tilt angle. It has been thoroughly cleaned...the short cable with XLR plug is included, as is the smart stainless steel Electro Voice 423A Desk Stand. (We can install a 1/4" male phono plug if you prefer at no charge.) Overall height is 9 inches, with the desk stand measuring 5" in diameter. ** Always safe secure packaging and fast fair shipping. Webster, in their later years, specialized in electronic audio equipment, home recording and amplifier gear, and also produced some higher-end mics as well. By no means were they a fly-by-night operation. In the ‘20s, Webster made batteries and power packs for some of the earliest mass-produced radios, and the company’s amp technology helped play a role in the arrival of the “talkie” era in motion pictures. The company had been in existence since 1914, and by 1966, the rebranded name WebCor was bought out by US Industries, eventually fading out due to cheaper foreign competition. ** WE BUY VINTAGE MICS, INVENTORY REGULARLY UPDATED **** Click on my eBay username for details.
