    Description

    You are looking at an American masterpiece:
    This is a vintage Shure 55SW "Elvis mic" in excellent shape.
    It has been combed through and tested and it's working perfectly.
    It was refurbished ONLY where needed: cartridge carriage pads reinforced, soldering and wiring checked and resoldered where needed.
    If you notice it says "Patent Pending" (see pics) so that tells you about how vintage it is.
    This thing is LOUD.  Someone long ago took care of it and allowed you to have the opportunity to give it as a gift or put it into your collection or use for radio or performance.
    As far as the hardware:
    ALL solder points have been inspected and resoldered or reinforced where needed.
    It has a brand new windscreen, red for a classic look.
    This one is the SW, meaning "switch." The switch itself has been taken off and cleaned and inspected.  Someone at one point must have taken it apart because the polarity was backwards (off was on and on was off).  But that's been fixed and it works perfectly.  SIDE NOTE: This mic would have been used as a broadcast or radio communications mic as "stage performers" used the ones without a switch so they didn't accidentally turn them off while up on stage.
    This beautiful piece of Americana was found with a horribly damaged cable and connector/adapter but
    nothing is wrong with the jack in the mic.
    HOWEVER don't worry about missing out on a cable.  You will also get a mic-cable adapter with the full price you pay (see last pics).  The FREE connector is a seller manufactured piece but it works properly and will save you time and money from having to look for and pay the outrageous prices for the original Amphenol 91MC3M plug that this product needs.
    If you want the stand for it (that is shown in the pictures) it will be another and the shipping will have to be bumped up a few bucks.
    Message me and I can do a separate invoice for you.  International buyers, please do your research regarding shipping to your region.  Ebay sellers do not control that nor do we even know the final price for shipping you are charged.  We only see that you paid enough to get it to the international shipping hub in the US.
