[DCboatanchors] Shure 444 Desk microphone and other microphones FS

[Ken Simpson, W8EK]

Microphones For Sale:

Shure 444 desk microphone
This desk mic is ideal for many rigs, especially those 
that are vintage.  The 444 has voice shaping built in to 
it that gives it more "punch" than most mics.  There is a 
switch on the bottom to select PTT or VOX operation.
This particular 444 is in its original box.  Not a scratch 
or blemish on it.  Of course it works well also!  $60 

Microphone for Heath "Lunchbox" Series
This is the ORIGINAL microphone for the Twoer, Sixer, 
and others of the "Lunch Box" series.
It is the original Turner microphone, with the Turner name 
on the front, cotton covered cord, and single button 
microphone connector.
It is in extremely nice shape. No problems with the cord or 
connector, and the mic itself even has a bit of the "sheen" 
left on it. I no longer have a rig to test it on, but I did connect 
it to a scope and get a nice pattern, indicating all is working 
well.  $35 

High Impedance Heath Hand Microphone
Not a GH-12 mic, but similar. It is a white mic that came 
with Heath gear, and says Heath on the front. It is Hi Z, 
and has the 2 pin Amphenol connector on it, as used by 
much of the older Heath gear.  It would be ideal for the SB 
and HW series, plus many others, including non-Heath rigs. 
It works fine, and is in good shape.  $30

Regular hand microphone
Electret Condenser microphone
Generic Black mic, with gray PTT bar. Requires polarizing 
voltage. $25


Touch tone (DTMF) microphones:

CES 600 L, Universal DTMF microphone
This has a normal touch tone pad on the front, along with 
a low impedance microphone. This one has the 8 pin 
modular plug (like a computer LAN) on it. This mic has 
not been used, so it is in really great condition. 
Paper work included for $40.

Drake 1525 EM Touchtone Microphone
This is the mic that was used to add a touchtone pad to 
a lot of rigs in the 70s and 80s. Normal hand mic from 
the front, but has a touchtone pad on the back. Four 
pin mic plug. This particular unit has been used, but is 
in good shape and includes paper work. $ 40 

KDK Model TM-2
With touch tone pad and up-down switches. It presently 
has a 6 pin connector for the KDK 2030, but that can 
be changed. Nice condition. $45

CES "Micropad" touch tone mic
No model number on it, but it has a 12 digit pad on the
back. Low Z mic element with round 8 pin connector 
wired for Kenwood. $40

Data Signal "Data-Coder 5" touch tone mic
This mic has a 12 digit touchtone pad on it, plus a
normal low impedance microphone. With 4 pin plug.
Like new. $40


HT speaker microphones:

Santec speaker microphone
It has the small round plug (about 3/8 inch) with 6 
pins, as used on most Santec HTs, and many 
Wilson and Yaesu HTs. Works and looks great.$20

Kenwood SMC-24 speaker microphone
Fits Kenwood TR-2400 HTs. $18


Kenwood MJ-68 microphone connector adapter
Converts a round 6 pin Kenwood mic connector, so it can 
be plugged into a Kenwood rig with the round 8 pin 
connector. Like new. $20


Speech Processor 

MFJ "Super Logarithmic Speech Processor" 
Model LSP-520BX II

This unit is one of the "good" speech processors. It uses 
techniques that will boost your average talk power, without 
introducing large amounts of distortion. Some processors 
only add to distortion, but this one works.

It is housed in one of the nice TenTec wood grain / eggshell 
white enclosures that are a perfect match for some of the 
earlier TenTec rigs like the Argonaut 505, 509, Triton I and 
II, and others. Of course it can be used with any rig you want, 
as it inserts in the microphone audio line. In other words, 
plug your mic into this unit, plug the unit into your rig, add 
12 V DC to power it, and you are set to go.

This unit works fine and looks fine also. $40


Prices do not include shipping from Florida.
