Turner +@ mic element info needed
Today, I picked up a turner plus 2 desk mic. This was the mic to have back
when I was a kid (1970's) ... So I opened it up and guess what.... No mic element. So,,,,, does anyone have any information on what type of element (i.e. characteristics, ohms etc) or does anyone know where to buy a new one, or does anyone have a working element for cheap???? Thanks in advance Bob in phx |

Thanks in advance Bob in phx Some Turners were crystal, some were ceramic and a few were dynamic. IIRC, they used different preamps for the different elements, so it might be a hit-and-miss game to find a replacement. It's not likely that you will find a new or NOS element for it. Fortunately, the mic was sold as several off-brand models that you can pick up cheap on ebay and elsewhere -- the logo and castings are different, but the guts are the same. You might also consider installing an electret and preamp which will sound much better. -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |

Thanks for the info... I was thinking of the electret option. I even found a
few schematics on the web that I might try... Thanks again for the info and advice. Bob in phx |

Was this mike purchased on E-Bay or some other online service?
