Jim,

In the 1960's I had an EV664 which I used on 2m AM 150w plate 
modulation.  Made very nice AM with my Johnson 6N2.  Mic sat in 
storage shed too long and suffered moisture corrosion.

I even applied to work for EV after college.  Ended up LA working for 
Hughes Aircraft, instead.

BTW -- Bob Heil did NOT invent that concept. Shure was doing it in the
earliest days of SSB (the '50s), and the D104 is a pretty old mic too.
And the other great US mic company in those days was Electro-Voice,
which was led by Al Kahn, K4FW, who later started Ten Tec when his
partner, Lou Burroughs, wanted to sell the company and retire. Al was a
CW man -- I don't know if they ever did any ham mics. :)  But they OWNED
the market for broadcast mics, and to some extent still do -- their RE20
is THE prestigious talk show and DJ mic, and their 635 and DO54 were
wildly popular for reporters in the field.
