The following was received from an anonymous person. I would never 
condone it.

Go to your local hardware store. Somewhere they will have a display of 
galvanized pipe. I seem to remember it's the 3/4" inch stuff you want, 
(may be larger, I forget), anyway, note that are are neat plastic caps on 
the ends, to protect the threads. These caps "unscrew" easily, and are 
occasionally lost from the display pieces. It's a shame, but it happens. 
They are also a nice fit for the mike connector, and can even be cut down 
in length so they don't stick out from the panel.
