Vintage 1930's BRUNO LABS 1240A VELOTRON RIBBON MICROPHONE - working w/stand

Description

Offering a
vintage 1930's BRUNO LABS Model 1240A VELOTRON MICROPHONE
.
William A. Bruno of the Bruno Laboratories in New York City invented the "Velotron" way back in the mid 1930's. The internal element consisted of a rather crude single wafer-like matrix, layers of metal "ribbons" sandwiched between a thin plate of copper, and required phantom voltage to operate. Unfortunately, at best they sounded like an old carbon mic. We removed that dead element and
installed a new studio quality ribbon motor
using powerful
Neodymium magnets
plus a Geistnote transformer.
It sounds fantastic...rich tones, strong output, and NO phantom power required.
It was missing the support yoke so we replaced it with a reproduced yoke, and also completely
restored the mic's casing
with new paint and clear coat. Now this mic looks as good as it sounds! A 3 foot cable with male XLR plug has been hardwired to the mic, and
the
super heavy  vintage
desk stand is
included
.
