WTB--D104 Or Turner +3 Wired For A GRT Super MC-11 A

Hi Eastside ... like we discussed before in my Tweety Bird D104 thread, you are probably going to have to find another one of those odd-ball 4 pin male plugs that your radio uses. Very obsolete. Your best bet is getting a tech to replace the radio mic's socket with a modern 4 pin cobra style socket 
Good luck !!
Good luck !!
I have 1 - D104 with the lever you push down on to talk, and 1 D104 that was bought new for a Viking Ranger - 2 pin - solder connector.
The two pin unit was only ever used a couple of times.
The bill of sale said 1962.
It still has a part of the original bag that came with the microphone when it was new, and some type of cloth designed to clean / polish the mic - when it was shipped new.
I paid $100 for the 2 pin unit and $65 for the 4 pin Cobra type with the handle. If interested, we can PM off line..
I think he's looking for a good working mic AND the special 4 pin connector properly wired for the MC-11A. Hint: its NOT a cobra 4 pin of Amphenal 4 pin. Lots of us have D104 and Turners for sale, haha.
Missing the point. That radio has a very unique mic jack. Look at the photo of mine closely again. It is not standard. If he wants to keep the radio historically correct, he will need to find the connector that fits and it is very hard to find.
Otherwise, as mentioned, it could be swapped out by opening up the radio and it may or may not loose some collect-ability value. I looked but could not find any. Maybe someone on here knows where to get some and he would be halfway to his goal

You might be in luck.
Check out mikesradiorepair on YouTube.
He just purchased a bunch of oddball mic and the like plugs and posted a video of them.
He used to sell lot's of items but has stopped and concentrates on repair only.
He's a good guy and I wouldn't be surprised if he were willing to sell you a mic with the pin configuration you're looking for even though he doesn't sell much anymore.
You can check out his clips on YouTube.
The YT name I gave you is active or you can message him via Gmail at
mikesradiorepair@gmail.com Hope this helps you. Good luck. 73
