Just to clarify the radio I am using for testing is a Galaxy.

I have a NOS Shure 577C that I am trying to wire for a 4 pin Cobra/Galaxy and have ran out of hair to pull out. So far the closest I have gotten is the following:
1-black, 2-green and black, 3-white, 4-red. This will key the radio but there is no audio.

Nomad, this picture is the one I wired that seems to work. The cord shield is soldered to the band at the bottom of the board, there is a black jumper from that to the 4th (far right) post. Are you saying to move the jumper to the 3rd post and move the red wire from under the ptt to the 4th...
I have several Turner hand mics and want to put new cords on them and wire them to work with the newer radios. When taken apart, there is all sorts of variations on how they are currently wired. Can anyone please tell me if the mic wiring labeled in the photo looks right? That is the old cord...
