These were made from about the mid 1930's to the late 1940's, perhaps even into the early 1950's, I am not sure of the exact dates. The 1945 catalogue price was $27.50. -- --- Richard Knoppow Los Angeles, CA, USA |

Thanks for the lead, I Googled the Electrovoice V-1 and mine looks very much like the ones I found. -- 73 Hank WD5JFR "Richard Knoppow" wrote in message ... "Henry Kolesnik" wrote in message . net...

I'm sure that is what it is, it looks like the ones in the catalogue illustration. The V-2 and V-3 had lables on the front under the switch. I think these were fairly popular microphones in their day. They had good performance and were relatively cheap. Of course, the most familiar ribbon mic is the RCA 44 series which has an overall resemblance but is much larger. A number of other companies made ribbon mics where they could get around the RCA patents. One odd one was the Bruno Labs mic which used a ribbon type diaphragm but operating between a pair of electrodes so that it was actually a form of condenser mic. These were made from about the mid 1930's to perhaps 1940. I've never seen one in the flesh. Both the EV and Bruno mics were advertized in QST and in some issues of the ARRL Handbook. BTW, the RCA 44 mics weighed in at around 9 lbs each so I guess they are on topic in the boatanchors group:-) -- --- Richard Knoppow Los Angeles, CA, USA |
