The microphone is in excellent cosmetic and working condition. This shows very little wear or use. The microphone. The original attached microphone cable with 1/4" Plug is around 6-1/2 feet long. I believe this to be a 1960's era microphone that was included with NEC's high-end Reel-To-Reel tape decks. A very sensitive and accurate microphone in a small size. Suitable for vocal or instrumental recordings - perhaps way too sensitive to be used for close-up Harmonica use.
