Thanks, Robert.

I have had it so long (48 years!) that I didn't
know where the I.D. was.  After about a minute
with a Brillo pad, the I.D. band was now another
color than that of the cord!!!  THe metal band
states "HEADSET HS-33."

I think it was brand new when I bought it for
maybe $3.

Mac,

If it has an HB-7 Headband with short bailout cord, it's an HS-33.  Lo-Z
version (HS-23 is 8000 ohms).  Maybe RadShack cut the ID bands off before 
selling
them.
