This heavily deco inspired piece with satin chrome finish makes this one of the most widely recognized “bullet” style microphones ever produced.   The 22 series came in several different styles over the years with the only changes coming in the lower half that carried the Turner badge and the type of element used. The 22 microphone either had the crystal element or the Dynamic element. All 22X’s carried the crystal element which did not hold up as well over the past 70 years. This one is an exception and actually has a strong signal. This would be ideal as a harp mic or for use with phantom power. Pic # 2 is from a 1940’s catalog showing Turners line up and some basic specs on these mics. This unit has the early lower half with round front and rear along with black Turner badge. The overall finish is very good except for a minor dent on the side of the mic. Apparently this mic was dropped at one point in time as seen in pic # 10. The Turner badge is exceptional and the sating chrome finish overall is quite good. The front grill is free of any dents or tarnish and the black inner cloth screen is perfect as well. I would give a this mic a true 8 on a scale of 1 – 10.  The threading for the cable and mic stand are perfect. No issues. The joint mechanism has plenty of tension as well holding the head of the mic firmly in place. Solid inside and out. The mic also comes with an original 6 foot cable that is in in very nice condition. Soft, pliable and free of any damage. It was well taken care of and has the male 1/4 inch end connector for use with most modern audio equipment and all guitar amplifiers. MICROPHONE STAND IS NOT PART OF THIS SALE…USED FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY.  I do have several microphone stands available in my Ebay store if needed.  As with all my vintage items… 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 purchase price would be refunded. Simply return in the same nice condition…period. Check my rating. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS are welcome as well. Buyer must pay within 24 hours or an unpaid case will be opened and item relisted. Domestic buyer will get priority shipping.   If you have any questions feel free to ask and…thanks for looking.    Country of Manufacture United States Model 22X Type Vintage Microphone Brand Turner
