Well... I have been talking about doing this for a LONG time...
So I gutted it, shortened the neck, removed the keying bar, stripped the base...
Now I am faced with a few tough decisions...
1.) Stay with the semi-bushed look on the base? Fully polish the base (lots of sanding and polishing compound work needed), or go with a flat black or even crinkle or hammer black?
2) Heil Dynamic mic element OR MXL 990 compression mic element and circuity?
The Heil is direct hook up on most if not all radios... the compression mic requires 48v phantom power
ALSO WHERE can I find replacement chrome nuts and bolts for the mic head?
