[Boatanchors] Microphone

[Clarke, Tom AIR4.0P NATOPS]

Hi Glen,

I think we all started with one of those!  Mine was light green and came
from one of the stores on Radio Row in NYC.  I don't have it anymore and
hope you are able to find one.

When I upgraded to General Class in October of 1959 my first microphone
was was a "no name" Japanese model that cost like $2.95.  It was, of
course, high impedance, was bullet shaped with hardware to attach it to
a "standard" microphone stand, and was made of plastic.  The color was
tan and the front of the microphone was chrome plated.

For nostalgia I would like to find another similar microphone.  This
would be the last thing that I need to re-create my Novice
Class/original General Class station (Hallicrafters S-107 receiver, WRL
Globe Chief 90A transmitter, WRL 755 VFO, WRL SM-90 modulator, J-38
key).

Anyone have any leads?  I have plenty of things that I can trade or, if
not too much actually spend some money.
