Hi Lynn,

      There are usually a few MC-43's up on Ebay. They do not have 
the MC-43 embossed in the microphone housing, and I think that they 
are the only Kenwood microphone without any ID on them. So, if you 
find a microphone on Ebay that the seller says it has no numbers on 
it, it is probably an MC-43.

      The bail is another story. You will probably have to find 
someone who is parting out a radio to find one of those.



                                                 Good luck,
