[Hallicrafters] HT-32B mike connection (s)

[Larry Woodworth]

 Hello to all on the list from a newby.
  
  The last Hallicrafters I owned was an S-40a in the early 50's. Various  equipment came and went over the years but no Hallies re-appeared on my  shacks table. Something happened to change my interest and make those  glow bottle boxes take a place again on the desk here in my humble  shack. Side by side now, are a SX-101A & HT-32B. What happened? you  may ask, well I went from volunteering at the  ENSOR PARK and  MUSEUM in Olathe, KS. to being the Site Director of this fine little  museum honoring the life of Marshall H. Ensor, W9BSP, a notable  educator in the local school system for 42 years whose main interests  were teaching Manual Arts (including Amatuer Radio Licensing), and  Amateur Radio operation from 1916 to 1970 when he became a SK.  The only commercial receivers he ever used were several models made by  Hallicrafters. Our radio club has restored a couple of them to  operation and some of the guys are pretty much Hallicrafters advocates  too. Anticipation for getting back
 to where I started is a thrill and I  even plan to build that 6AG7/ 807 breadboard rig from the 1952 Handbook  again.
  
  Here's my question for you more experienced friends.The HT-32B uses a 2  connector mike connection and the Astatic 200-S that I've come up with  has a connector on its cord of 6 contacts maybe to allow the use of  both the momentary as well as on/off talk switch. I would like to make  use of the flip / press switch on the mike handle if practical.   Any guiding  lights out there  with this experience?
  
  By the way, since I've already plugged the Ensor Museum, see what he  was all about that has earned a National Historic Site status by  looking at: <W9BSP-W9UA.org> 
  
  Thanks in advance. 73 for your Christmas days too.
