[Elecraft] D104 mic

[Grant Youngman]

I know a lot of people do this.  But once done, it's no longer a D-104 -- it's just one more HC-5 in a fancy housing.  This is one case where it may look like a duck, but doesn't necessarily sound like a duck.  I recognize some may consider that a plus :-)

I understand it, but it is a shame that Astatic can no longer economically manufacture the original cartridge for something this venerable, if not downright iconic ...
