Military Microphone For Sale:

This is a hand microphone with a heavy coiled cord.
The mic itself is in a black bakelite type case, similar
to that of the old black, dial type telephones, about 2 
inches in diameter, but has a PTT switch on it.

The cord has a PL-068 plug on it (0.206 inch type, as 
used on Collins and Drake gear).  The mic itself seems
to be high impedance, likely a crystal element.

On the back, it says it is a Telefunken, CTE, M-85 / U,
NI 26-097863.  I would guess that it is probably Korean
War vintage, but that is only a guess.  It could be older.

It is in good shape.  I have not tried it on a rig, but it
has output on a scope.  $35 plus shipping from Florida.

Thanks.

73,

Ken, W8EK
