Here is a pic from the same set:

Pat told me a few years ago that it is a "Frankenstein" mic cobbled together by a friend of his using an American shell, some sort of dynamic element (he didn't know the details), with a volume knob added. I think the video clip made the mic look larger than it really is, though it is on the large side for sure. I've been seeing Pat off and on since 1987 and I've only ever known him to use two mics -- he made the switch to this mic after his old Shure died. TWO mics in 19+ years ..... talk about a non-gear-head! Some of us switch mics twice a month. LOL!
