Vintage rare 1950\'s RCA MI-12010 Aerodynamic bullet microphone old used w stand:
$168.00

Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome.

You are looking at a somewhat rare RCA MI-12010 model Aerodynamic microphone first manufactured in the 1940\'s and sold into the 1950\'s. The MI-12010 has a classic bullet mic look. It was at that time a somewhat affordable RCA dynamic microphone used for general purpose broadcasting and this particular model has that classic bullet mic styling that was so popular at the time.

That being said this mic is in working condition but the signal strength is strong enough to use for general purposes. The original element is still inside and it\'s set for High impedance. It will make a nice display piece as well if you decide not to actually use this mic.

You\'ll notice right away that this microphone has the original two tone umber grey paint scheme but has a bit of wear in the form of scratches and scuffs and tiny chips. The front grill is pretty beat up as these mics usually are but there is zero fractures or broken ribs though there are several bends in the grill. The original silk screen was replaces as it was quite beat up. The chrome mic adapter looks great and used for all modern stands though the one shown is included.

It should be noted that if you purchase this microphone...do NOT attempt to straighten the front ribs out as they are very brittle and will break if you attempt to do so. Again, do not attempt to straighten the ribs. I tried this once a few years back and learned the hard way...they break.

The MI-12010 has a short 8 inch cable that was shortened for cosmetic reason but is the perfect length for display and it comes with it\'s original chunky chrome plated Switchcraft 1/4 inch connector. I\'m adding a flexible extension cable in case you\'d like to use the mic? The newer cable has the female 1/4 inch connector for the mic connector and the end connector on this extension cable is a male 1/4 inch connector for use with most modern audio equipment and all guitar amplifiers. The extension cable is in excellent condition and stretches to 12 feet if needed.

The stand is original and really compliments the RCA bullet mic and has all original paint that\'s in pretty good shape showing typical lite wear. The 4 original rubber pads are present and in perfect condition. The height with both mic and stand is appx 8 1/2 inches tall X 5 inches wide.

This mic is an easy 6 on a scale of 1 - 10 in the cosmetic department. It will make for a very interesting display piece anywhere in the home, office or studio.

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 original purchase price would be refunded. Simply return in the same nice condition...period. Check my rating. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS ARE WELCOME as well. I have had problems recently collecting on payment for items sold so PLEASE do not purchase this item unless you are capable of paying within 24 hours. Domestic buyer will get priority shipping.

If you have any questions feel free to ask and...thanks for looking.
