Hey OMNI #1...
Check out this pdf... describes the original 55...
http://www.shure.com/pdf/booklets/unidyne.pdf

In particular, one section describes "...a built-in cable connector was supplied, as were a special locking microphone plug attached to the cable, and threads for stand mounting...."

Looks like you may need to contact Shure to get the appropriate connection apparatus... aren't you glad we have connector standards now??? (at least for mics)!

As if one omnipotent wasn't enuff . . .

I got a couple of those old shures with 3 and 4 pin connectors and a threaded ring that screws into the mike base.

Thx 4 the link bv
