Description

Hello,

 

I have a Unidyne Model 55C. It appears to be in GREAT condition. I've searched the interwebs far and wide and can't come up with an estimated worth for it. Can someone please point me in the right direction? I'm located in NJ. Thank you for your time.

This is a model of Shure Microphones that is still being sold. A new one with a warranty can be had from Sweetwater music for about $250.00. There are several modern variations today. Your "C" model is a high impedance model but it does not appear to have a switch. They might be too common to be "collectable" but they are a nice object of art. If yours works as it is, it could be useful for public address system use but with no switch, it would have to be controlled at the amplifier. Some people use these to record vocal tracks. However, there are many more contemporary microphones for that. Here's a link to more information:
