What kind of mic is this?

[Scastles]

I got an first gen 424 portastudio with original pedal and transformer in working condition, instrument and board cables, three or four good twenty footers and a slew of shorties, two twenty-foot mic cables, that mic and another ****** one, for sixty bucks

Great deal! Gotta to know when you got a bargain, Kira. Pretty obvious you did.

Ha! We have that same grey beast in our studio. It's the mic which refuses to die.

Great. Now, tell us the model number of it!

I knew I recognized that general shape!

We used to use several of those PL series mics back in the early/mid 80's!

Great workhorses!

And apparently they're still in production.

Looks like an old Electro Voice PL80. If so, it would be a supercardioid, usually used as a live vocal mic.
