Fw: [Milsurplus] $400+ for a T-17???

[Ray Fantini]

I have a couple T-17 that I changed the element and also installed new
covers on using parts from TA-43 telephones. would think about the only
way to get good audio drive from a stock T-17 is by yelling in it. so
dose this mean I destroyed $800 worth of microphones?, see that their
are still three other T-17 on ebay with no bids, maybe that's a T-17 for
your "Collins" radio.
