Night Eagle D104 with standard head score..


Nice score!

A friend of mine gave me a TUG-8 with D104 head a couple weeks ago. He had a dozen or so that have been sitting in a cabinet not being used. First one I have ever owned, and I absolutely love it.

The handheld D104 mics definitely don't sound like the TUG-8. A CB friend of mine has a D104 hand mic, and when he plugs in his TUG-8, the sound is a good bit different. Sounds better to my ears than the D104.

The TUG-8 I got was not rusty, but it did have very light corrosion on the chrome head. Bought a can of Eagle One Nevr-Dull wadding polish, and it's now gleaming with a mirror shine. It looks new.

Anyone have an "Eagle" back plate for the head, it can be chrome that's fine (I found out Duplicolor makes a Black Chrome paint kit)?

At some point the prior owner(s) must have swapped the Eagle head for a standard one with flat back.

Someone I asked on EBay had scratched up back plate for $30 which seemed HIGH for just a back plate.
