Rwb , I love my Turner SSK ( usually for SSB ) but I always have to keep the contacts clean . Do you have this problem ? I use Deoxit but thinking of getting a burnishing file ???

Moon , What a difference it will make ! Plenty of them on Ebay or just buy new ! Myself never had a problem w/one . Now I use my Silver Eagle w/ the push & squeeze bar . What a change it will make especially if you don't have an amp ! Might not be the best mic out there but they work ! They have better ones I'm just Old School !

The 10 DA head is better suited for side band as its audio is narrow. What radio are you going to use it on? The D104s that I have are the amplified type with the battery. The mic gain has an adjustment on the bottom of the stand and makes it easier to get the right amount of audio signal.
We will have to ask the owner. Grabbed that shot off Net.
Yes. Why I posted up pic and looked around at For Sale.

That red velvet tube slipped over the goose neck is a nice touch that I have never seen before. Maybe I’ll try to get the better half to sew me one.
I am a bit partial to the Astatic D-104 myself.I currently only own 30 of them but that will change when I find another one I want at a great price.I don't know how to post pictures here so I can't show you. {:>( You may view a few of them in this FB Group & the ones at the top of the page with the Browning MK IV are some of mine. https://www.facebook.com/groups/199778953705834/photos/

Moon , like Shade said . 10 Da also know as " Harp Head " (or Bullet Head ) models harmonica players used ( or similar ) but if are talking Am , no need for it . A regular amplified D 104 will suit your needs . My problem was on SSB using the stock head it picked up so much back ground noise if the dog farted in the room , the guy I was chatting with could hear it !
I'm running a Galaxy Melaka. A-F bands. but I'M only interested in AM right now.
