[Milsurplus] SIMPLE Carbon Microphone Substitute.

 >microphone from a Motorola 2-way radio
 
I have a couple of Motorola mikes from some sort of portable belt-clipped transmitters, perhaps railroad used items.  Are those similar to what you were thinking of?  Their mike buttons are marked Roanwell RN-1, which is the same as a generic N-1, the button used in those old switchboard operator headsets (think of the Lilly Tomlin telephone operator skit).

Dave:

Have you considered using a microphone from a Motorola 2-way radio?
Originally they were carbon mics (the old round, cast microphone)in the 30s
- 60s.  Motorola converted in the 60's to a dynamic mic element with a
preamp inside.  It was interchangeable with the carbon mics.

Not an ideal configuration but maybe a way to start.
