Electro-Voice 664 microphone - replacement element?
 

Does anyone know where I might find a replacement element for an
Electro-Voice 664 microphone? It's a vintage mike.

Great mike for tube ham rigs as well as for general P.A. use. The element I
have - the coil connections have corroded away. :-(

Great sounding mike - then went dead as described.

Have tried electrovoice.com, no luck. Many vintage mike websites, but no
one selling elements.

Thanks,

Mike

Nope. EV no longer has elements. The coils on these get bent and then
go open. As far as I know, nobody can rebuild dynamic mike coils.

They don't exist. Spend $50 and get a new one at a hamfest.

It probably won't fit and it is not "original" but I have used the
receiver element from those old
black "500 type" telephones. The receiver makes a good dynamic
microphone with an
impedance of ( I think) about 500 Ohms.
