Want to use an Astatic Sliver Eagle for recording. This mic has a 4
pin connector. In order to use it for recording I need to get it to
an XLR or 1/4 inch connector. Is there an adaptor? Will I need to
wire a different connector on it? If so, can someone tell me what
wires should go to where on the new plug. Thanks.

Both crystal and dynamic elements were available for D-104s, although
the crystal elements were more common. The mics used to have an
internal wiring diagram inside the bottom plate. (You could wire them
so the push-to-talk switch also switched the mic element, or not.)

Pop off the bottom and take a look.
