That's interesting!  A multi pattern mic?  Condenser?  Balanced stereo outputs?
 
Mics.  The most undervalued item in audio.  I used to protect my Royers like 1st born children.

I really have no clue. Got it from grandfather, never used it. Remembered it after seeing your small mic repair. I will try to take apart to give a better view, but I just tried and am currently unable as it seems dicey due to IPA consumption. But here is a pic anyway. Really heavy.

Realistic was Radio Shack's house brand for many years before it got out of the white label business.  I wonder if this is a RatShack special?
 
I used to love radio shack, then after the year 2000 it had less interest to me, now, I think in the past five I did an online purchase for a toggle switch.  Radio Shack ... I miss you.
 
i hate to bragg and shit but wouldnt you know it,  i was a manager trainee for radio shack,  my dm said i had promise,  my wife and stepchild laugh at me and ridicule me but i sold many a tad112.
 
Of course it is a Radio Shack item! Circa 50's or 60's
 
radio shack was actually the warmoth or stewmac of its time,  except not with guitar parts
