Hi, Martin:If the XLR's on your ReVox are up to international standards, then pin 2 would be "hot" and pin 1 would be shield (ground) with pin 3 the negative. So, from your description, I'd guess that your deck is not compatible with current XLR wiring as far as microphones might be concerned.
I recommend that you contact whoever is doing service on ReVox decks!
Try my buddy, Adam Liberman at Liberman Sound in El Cerrito, CA.

Surely Adam can offer some advice!
(I know that as concerns early US-made pro gear, such as the tube-based Ampex decks, they were wired with pin 3 as "hot".)
