Resized_IMG_20201209_125006_1099231450780674.jpeg Thought I'd put this up and see if someone here might recognize what this mic cord goes to.
Now I know the ends could be removed and be used on anything but reason I ask is because I'm told it is an original replacement for the 575m6. I don't think that is correct because the plug and strain relief isn't used on that mic, at least not that I know of.
It looks like it's made for some kind of mic, but not the 575.

Any guess?

Astatic microphone

Definitely the hook is a restrainer for an astatic base mic

Dunno if is for the roger K or silver eagle,but it has all the 6 wires for astatic microphones

I was thinking along the same lines. Do any of those use that plastic connector on the end? All the tug or tup stands I ever tinkered with we're all soldered to pads inside. Not sure about the k eagle versions, I've never been in one.

Tecnicoloco,
I went with your advice on the k eagle and it looks like you might be correct. I can see the strain relief spring is right but just can't directly point out that plastic connector end by the pictures found on the web.
I guess it's definitely not the original replacement for the 575 although it would work.

Thank you for the lead sir

Isn't that the relief spring for a Road Devil or RK 56?

It's the "shock spring" I see that tends to give it away...don't see metal being used too often - so to me this tends to sway - swag? - back to the older RK56 and Road Devil "D104" types.

Most Base mics tended to be "hard wired" or hand soldered to the switch - so to see a plug in makes me think this was after Astatic dropped the D104 - and went with a modern modular standard wiring code - plug.

But then I could be wrong.

Going off the k eagle lead this is what images show. The metal strain relief fits the suspect but the plastic plug isn't visible. The 636's all solder to the switch and the rd104 have a plastic or rubbery strain relief.
I'm just saying it looks to be the k d104 version but I've never personally been in that mic to know that. Surely someone here has and can assist Screenshot_20210807-214009_Google.jpg Screenshot_20210808-102214_Google.jpg
