This vintage Sony ECM-22P condenser microphone is an example of 70s home studio and sometimes professional studio mic. It has some case scratches, is missing the tiny Sony logo on the windscreen, and looks to have a jumper across the battery terminals. This is a Phantom Power compatible unit, which was later in the production timeline for these. I’ve read it was John Lennon’s favorite mic in his later recordings, providing a clean and clear sound. This unit has a Voice and Music mode, where the voice has a high pass filter and music is full-range. Listing as parts only as it may need to be taken apart and cleaned, though it is tested to function with audio output and the mode switch functions. The mic clip is a Sony Japan clip but might be for a smaller microphone body.
