Vintage 1950\'s Electro Voice 636 dynamic microphone High Z old used midcentury 3 For Sale

Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome.

You are looking at a quality 1st generation dynamic microphone manufactured by Electro Voice manufactured during the early 1950\'s to early 1960\'s. This 636 model mic was made well into the late 1960\'s but this was the 1st generation 636.

I call this the Jack Ruby mic because this was his favorite model microphone when he spoke to his audience in his Dallas strip club night after night as seen in pic # 2. Jack Ruby shot and killed Lee Harvey Oswald of course sealing his legacy in American history. The name has stuck since I learned of his preference for this microphone.

This 636 has a great working element and themicrophone is a High Z setting and would make an ideal harp or general purpose mic. It has a strong, clear signal. The polished chrome housing has held up very well with a minimum of cosmetic wear. Just some slight corrosion by the cable threads as seen in pic # 12 and some tiny pitting on the very top of the mics barrel as seen in pic# 9. It has an impressive luster and there are zero dents on this old girl. 100% original and in perfect working order which includes the on / off switch and joint mechanism. A very nice 636.

The 636 was ideal for broadcasting purposes but it can be used for either High or Low Impedance depending on how the mic is wired. Again...this mic is wired for High Z.

The threads for both the cable and stand are in perfect condition...no issues.

I would rate this mic a conservative 9 on a scale of 1 - 10. MICROPHONE STAND SHOWN IS NOT PART OF THIS SALE...Used for display purposes only. As with all my vintage microphones...
