Telefunken ELA M 251 E mint, vintage original
An immaculate example of the world's finest microphone
|
Offered for sale is a spectacular, all-original, vintage Telefunken ELA M251 E. I have owned this microphone for about 12 years, having purchased it from the family of an audio engineer who passed away. As I understand it, he purchased this 251 new, 50-some years ago, and used it very scarcely before getting out of the business altogether.
This is not a USA replica. It is a completely authentic, vintage, original 251 in like-new condition, with only the tiniest of nicks anywhere on it, and a very minor bit of scuffing on the swivel/stand-mount. It sounds absolutely incredible. This is easily the finest example of a vintage 251 I've ever seen or heard anywhere. Over the years, I have satisfied my curiosity by comparing it to some other good 251s in other studios. If you're looking, you probably already know what you're looking at, but this is truly a mic of a lifetime, and an investment sure to appreciate in value. Please feel free to contact me with any and all specific questions, which I will do my best to answer thoroughly. You can also contact me and I'll provide a phone number if you'd like to discuss any aspect in depth.
Auction Notes:
Item is as described above, and of course, used. Sale is understood to be for the microphone and all accessories as-is. Given the high-value of this microphone, I would think it reasonable, if not preferable to consider in-person pickup or delivery as an alternative to FedEx, and I will be willing to coordinate air-travel arrangements with the winning bidder if desired.
If it is to be shipped, the microphone will be packed in its original wood box, with its power supply and cables, all bagged with fresh dessicants in a heavy-duty, waterproof, foam-lined Pelican case, which itself will be packed in a large, well-cushioned shipping box. Shipping insurance is mandatory and final costs will be calculated without mar
kup and applied to the bidder's invoice
Bank Wire Transfer is the strongly preferred means of payment accepted. EBay's new rules mandate that PayPal be included here, but I would request that you contact me prior to bidding if that is the only means of payment you are able to use.
I have sold a good number of vintage mics from my personal collection over the past year, and as you can see, my feedback is perfect. If you have any questions about any aspect of this, contact me and I will respond promptly and thoroughly.
The original GE 5-Star 6072 is still installed
Original resistor-ladder!
Note the two small, black, original factory seals on the capsule-head assembly, indicating that nobody has ever been inside!
Everything fits nicely in a sturdy Pelican case (included)
