My friend was clearing out his parents loft and found this (vintage mic content!)

It belonged to his dad. God knows what he had it for (it's more a broadcasting mic than anything, by the looks of it). Anyway he's going to bring it over to my place soon so we can test if it still works. I hope it does!

Just thought some of us might find it interesting

I love obscure vintage mics. B&O are awesome. There's a place in UK that might repair it if it's broken:

Ah great find, thanks man. I'll do some sound clips when he brings it over (assuming it still works!)

Cool find, good luck!

That is a seriously great mic, I've seen some go for 800€ on ebay, and I've been looking for one myself for ages!
There's a lot of info on GS about the whole BM line...
