[Elecraft] Yaesu M.D. 100 on a boom

[edwin weider]

I use a Yaesu   MD100 desk Mic with my K-3.  It is connected to the front microphone socket currently. I'm a quadriplegic in a wheelchair which prevents me from getting as close to the microphone as I would like to. I would like to mount my current microphone on a boom or gooseneck and continue to use the PTT and lock button on the base of the MD100.  I can operate those buttons fine.   Question one: is there any way to make a cable, or is one currently available commercially, that would screw into where the microphone screws into the base of the MD 100 ? Is there a coupling I could use ? Thus I could use the buttons on the base.If that is not possible, I could just unscrew the microphone, get a microphone cable that fits the K-3.  I could then have someone make a simple switch that would plug into the PTT socket in the back of the K-3.  Any recommendations on such a cable.   That way I would not need to purchase a new microphone.  The MD100 works fine.
If it's not possible to continue using the MD100, I assume other microphones and cords are compatible with the K-3. Then I can purchase a desk switch or have someone make one.
Appreciate any insight,
