The other mic is a Radioshack Uni-Directional Dynamic microphone...and other accessories as shown in the pictures below. The Radioshack microphone's plug end is too small for this unit so I don't know why it's in the case. Here is some information I found on the internet about this unit. "In the lit window is a spinning wheel with a black and white pattern on it. Like the pattern of dots around the outside of some turntable platters. It spins at a steady speed, the actual rpm being selected by one of the knobs. Each of the 12 notes of the scale has its own rotation speed. Behind the wheel and shining through it are a few neon bulbs - just like the neon bulbs in a Fender tremolo opto bug. The signal you feed into the thing from your instrument drives the neons, so they strobe at the freq of your signal. When you play at the same note that is selected for the motor speed, then the pattern on the wheel strobes is stable. Like the old wagon wheels in a cowboy movie or airplane propellers on some old movie.So set the Conn to E, plug the guitar into it and strum an E. Now tune the guitar until the pattern on the Conn stops moving." It works great and looks great too, with no dents or dings. The wood case measures 16 1/4" including the carrying handle, by 14 1/4", by 8" tall, and this whole unit with case is pretty heavy. Check out my other items!
