I think this is a vintage Atlas 763 mic stand but the microphone is not known? anybody see one of these mics before? and if so, what is the make & model?.. I don't think Atlas made microphones but do know they made high quality stands like this one..

That's not a mic, it's a hair dryer.

that's not a mic. it's a marital aid for woman who've given birth to triplets.

....the base has the rust to prove it's been well used.

I disassembled this mic to try and find maybe a maker's name on one of the components inside but found none.. prolly had a paper label on the exterior and has been removed or worn away(stickem went bad)

From the Urban Dictionary...

ovular - a word to describe someone that just isn't there and doesn't understand life...
that person usually sucks only half the time, but when they suck, they suck pretty bad.
they're not as bad as a square, but they sure as hell aren't a circle.
guy: hey you? wanna come over here and hang out?
girl: no
guy: hey, quit being so ovular
girl: suck me!

I guess I will have to test it using my guitar amp since I don't have a PA system....must be a high impedance dynamic mic?
