[Boatanchors] D-104 Replacement Element

[Rob Atkinson]

As far as I know the best thing is another working Astatic element.
You have to suck it up and go to hamfests and look for D104s.   Hope
you get a good one.

You can maybe get another old crystal mic and get the element out of
it.   Astatic and Electrovoice? made xtal mics for things like tape
recorders in the 1950s.
There are Japanese xtal mics made in the 1960s that turn up.  Those
Kobetone elements that were around a few years ago have a reputation
for not being all that good.
