Description: Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome. You are looking at a very unique 1st generation 1950's era Atlas MS-25 model microphone floor stand called the "Studio Deluxe" with an extra wide and heavy rectangular cast iron base and durable 2 piece retractable chrome stem Made in the United States. The Studio Deluxe was the higher end model offered by Atlas at that time and replaced the earlier MS-24 model. As you can see this early 1st generation MS-25 would be an ideal set up for just about any application. These bigger, heavier stands were ideal for situations where you didn't want your precious microphone tipping over easily which can happen with the smaller floor stands often sold. This MS-25 model stand is still being made today though it has gone through a few physical changes over the past 70 years and the new MS-25 are being made in China. Pic # 2 shows this very model from an old 1950's Atlas data sheet I have along with a handful of other Atlas floor stands from that period. You could use the MS-25 alone or add the boom arm depending on your needs. If you are a musician or broadcaster and need a great stand where you are sitting or standing this MS-25 will do it all. The boom arm can be lowered or rotated in any direction. Pic # 3 shows Johnny Cash using this very model stand at his Folsom State Prison live performance in 1968. The MS-25 itself is in very good overall condition. The top and lower chrome risers show typical lite wear and the clutch mechanism works perfectly allowing you to get any height needed on this stand. The original Atlas sticker is no longer present as they often wear off. It's the Brooklyn, NY model and it's in decent shape despite the wear. It should be noted that the round chrome cap that sits on top of the cast iron base is no longer present. The cast iron base itself has original dark grey paint and it's pretty decent shape with just spots of discolorations, scratches and a few small nicks here and there. Gotta remember that this stand is 70 years old. The base originally had the screwed on felt pads but they were in terribly shape and mostly just metal which would have damaged or scratched a floors surface so I replaced them with 3 new felt pads that will do the job very well. These are very rugged and well attached with resin. They will do an excellent job of keeping this very heavy floor stand from scratching any floor it sits on. Typical lite rust stains on the bottom of the base. Overall this stand is an easy 6 + on a scale of 1 - 10. I'm very picky though. Some might rate it better. If you demand rarity and something eccentric for the studio...look no further. This stand will keep your mic upright in the air where it belongs. Due to massive postal rate increases I cannot send this stand for any less than stated. I do combine shipping which will save a lot of money if you plane on buying multiple items. Thank you. As with all my vintage microphones and stands... I can promise you will be happy with it for the price paid. If not...I have a no hassle return policy. The return shipping will be on you as I believe that's fair but the purchase price would be refunded. Simply return in the same nice condition...period. Check my rating. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS are welcome as well. BUYER MUST PAY WITHIN 24 HOURS or will lose rights to this item, unpaid item report will be filed and will be re-listed. If you don't intend on buying this...do not commit to buy please. Domestic buyer will get priority shipping. If you have any questions feel free to ask and...thanks for looking.
