Here’s rebuilt Vintage Shure Model 440 SL harp mic, with an excellent, high-impedance, strong, vintage Shure controlled magnetic element. I’ve fully rewired the mic. The New connector is a Switchcraft 5/8” screw-on model. The paint is good, with minimal chips and scuffs, so keep that in mind. The mic shell is 55 years old or so. The Grill is in excellent condition.

Good, solid tone, with a nice fat 60’s bottom and distortion.

Cosmetic condition includes scuffs and scratches to the original silver shell coat. Make sure to closely view the photographs! A great version of the Shure 440 series mics.

The microphone has been fully tested on a Skip Simmons modified Masco MA-17 P.A. amp head driving a twin-ten cabinet with Lil’ Buddy speakers. Sounds excellent. Ready for the stage.
