Vintage RARE 1940's Amperite PGH dynamic microphone old w cable connector Shure

  
Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome. You are looking at a very unique and somewhat rare Amperite PGH dynamic microphone made in New York City during the 1940's. The PGH mic was an entry level dynamic mic offered by Amperite at that time. It has a very industrial steampunk look that's all it's own. It comes with the offset 3 pin cable connector shown in which to operate this mic. It should be noted that you will have to custom build your own cable for the mic using the cable connector offered. Pic # 2 shows this very model in an old Amperite catalog with it's basic characteristics and price. This mic has some good weight to it and built like a tank. As you can see in the pictures provided this microphone has typical lite cosmetic wear but overall in very good condition. It's has 100% original parts with all inner components including the dynamic element which is still intact and works well.

Even if you don't plan on using this mic it could be used for display or prop purposes. The sound of this mic is very "rockabilly" in nature being high impedance and lacking the bass that most mics have today. A very old school sound so if that's what you like or need then this mic will fit the bill.

The PGH model had a highly polished housing. Most I come across are in very rough condition but this one is a pretty decent example and would do any collector justice. There are several small scratches and scuff marks in the polished chrome finish but zero fractures or dents.

A bit of fine pitting too. The Amperite badge looks very nice as well and the switch operates as it should sliding smoothly. The joint mechanism has plenty of tension as well and you can get the right angle needed on the mic head.

The threading for the cable and stand are perfect. The front grill shows zero dents with lite tarnish.

There are no loose components inside of the mic. The mic will screw on to any American desk or floor stand but it comes with the older stand shown. I would rate the cosmetic condition of this Amperite a true 6 on a scale of 1 - 10. This would make a great display piece in the home, office or studio.

These also make great lamp conversions if you are into doing such projects because of all the room inside the mic and the interested screen it has. MICROPHONE STAND SHOWN IS NOT PART OF THIS SALE...
