The EV 635A Heads Into the Sunset? RW rip on this mic.

https://www.radioworld.com/columns-and-views/roots-of-radio/the-ev-635a-heads-into-the-sunset  Huh... Probably, one of the most seen mics used in TV & Radio Broadcasting field operations, and more. When WBGT-LP-TV40, 1st went on-air 2/1998, the station owner still used this mic, and his old Marantz PMD-222 recorder, to do the voice-overs for commercials, ID's, promos, PSA's, etc. All went to digital recording a couple years later. I've heard these mics used in Amateur Radio as well, especially for AM Mode QSO's. Makes me think that I'm probably the only one who doesn't have one of these mics. (Got to thank Boomer for forwarding this one to me.)

The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.
