Got a couple of old SM58s from a friend I was visiting so I could leave my newer mics at home when I host an open mic in a couple weeks. He has a bunch and said just grab what you want. The first two worked ("testing 1,2,3") when I plugged them in so I tossed them in the case. Wish I'd looked a little closer at the one, since the foam has completely disintegrated. I actually had ordered a replacement grill/foam aftermarket piece because they were both beat up enough I figured I'd probably need one. Good thing. Already trimmed a bit of some open-cell foam I had to cover the diaphragm (after carefully picking up loose stuff with masking tape). It will be interesting to see how they sound once I get them both done and side-by-side.
The older one (rusty grill, too) actually has 3 wires inside, green/yellow/black. Any ideas when they switched to just 2 wires?
