NEW OLD STOCK (!) late-1980s Shure SM7 dynamic microphone. No foam windscreen as they deteriorate and break down over time -- best to just remove them to protect the capsule. Also opens up their sound considerably. Comes with factory outer box, factory metal case, factory inspection tags, data sheet dated to 1987, and rear control panel cover which has worn from being stored in a tiny slot in the case for 40 years.
The metal case has the original foam which has also deteriorated. The microphone has been stored in plastic to protect the capsule from bits of foam, but ultimately I'd recommend refoaming this if you want to use it for storage of the mic.
Likely from the very first production run in Mexico.
Please note that this is not the same model microphone as the currently-produced SM7B. These use a different element without humbucking coil introduced in the later models.
$550 cash and carry pickup in Bridgeport, less than 1 mile off the expressway.
