Turner +2 ssb mic pinout to HR-2510

the wiring i gave ya should work if not check battery is making good contact, if ok then clean the relay leaves, as old as this mike is there is a high chance they are corroded or burned,, these mikes have a tendency to have the negative battery leaf get dirty and need cleaned,,, the adjustment needs to be checked and maybe deoxed,,,

UPDATE:
Tried the above wiring scheme - NO GOOD....The connections are tight and clean, battery is new have already cleaned contacts but, will go back and do it again...If this won't work, I will have to ck continuity of all the wires start to finish and see what happens from there.... The radio WILL KEY and will resume it;s recieve when mic released....Back to this I go...This mic is soon to be a flower planter shortly!
 
Check to make sure the battery lead is also switch/engaged when keyed. Can't recall if it is the negative lead or positive lead from the battery.

It is also not uncommon for mike elements to be bad. Just a thought.

After my first test in which I stated I had no audio, did 2nd test with same results... I looked over and FORGOT to put in battery after last test!!..(I am never gonna live this one down!)...."MF'er!...The 2nd test WITH BATTERY same results.

Anyway, Have another MF'ing problem - yellow wire popped off the circuit board directly under the variable resistor (volume)..Anyone have a pict of bottom internal?
 
I have been told that there were some differences in the Turner 2 desk mic,

> The middle left pin has a black jumper going to pin 2 of the relay switch.

> The bottom left pin has the black cord wire going to it.

> The bottom right side has the black jumper to ground and another black wire

Can someone help me fit my big toe into the trigger guard of this shotgun!?

Ok, I just scanned the above post - will re-read it, see if i can find connections, re-solder BOTH ends back in place and re-try...

**Just read the link(s) supplied...Ok, gonna take a break before I take a torch to this stuff....Will get back to this after a while which will give all a chance to grab some aspirin!

Well, I hope I got yellow wire to where it is supposed to go!......Re-tested - no good:cry::cry:.....Trying to look around for a temporary-use mic cartridge of any sort and not having much luck.....May give up for the night..HEY!, THANKS ALL FOR THE ASSISTANCE - I MAY RE-VISIT THIS LATER OR TOMORROW..

An AC voltmeter across the 2 pins of the cartridge will show a small voltage (less than 1 volt or so) when good.

I have a couple questions for this.
1. How would I access the wires in the Heil2 since the bottom is riveted to the base?
2. Is it possible to convert this to a modular plug for my Kenwood tm281?
Thanks
 
UPDATE -
Today, I looked at battery connector and when I would clip it onto the battery and insert into "holder" in bottom of mic, I found today that the wires to the top of the clip covered in "plastic", sometimes would not make good contact with the battery clip - I suspect a broken wire or corroded wire IN the battery clip.... and I would get no voltage - other times it would. Those times it wouldn't may have been when I was moving plug wires around....Go figure.

I found a package of radio shack new
9 vdc connectors and applied the connector to battery top and measured voltage - no problem....Then, I ran alligator clips to the connections where the battery voltage is supposed to be applied and keyed up into a dummy load...VOILA!...The meter showed modulation and that is good enough for me(y)(y)(y).....I do not remember where I got this mic from about 35 years ago(?) but, it appeared that the "+" and "-" connections were switched around - reverse polarity. So, all I have left to do now is wire in a new battery clip connector and button it up.

***I wish legitimately to thank all those whom helped in this endeavor by posting facts, diagrams, and other information about this, that it came to a good and successful conclusion!(y)(y)(y)

I will follow this up in a few days about troubleshooting an ICOM desk mic!...UGH!

RE: - The next project...

Pulled the above listed mic apart this morning -

1)...ck'ed continuity from plug pins at connector to mic base, proves wiring between radio and mic base intact,

2)...ck'ed continuity to all connections (volume pot included) and all soldered connections to amp circuit board(small amp board inside base),

3)...bypassed amp board by moving white audio wire to direct connection,

4)...had non-amplified audio which indicates mic element good,

3)...seems to indicate that issue is on the amp board.

I did try this mic on both an ICOM-730 and 751 PRIOR, and which at one time did work on each...No longer working this date.

Tried stock ICOM hand mics on each radio and again those mics worked except this mic (IC-SM-5).....This has some components on it that i cannot identify.

With that said, anyone know a replacement board can be purchased?...Thanks in advance again!
 
Tower Power,
Except for the FET, all parts appear to be identified on the schematic. There may well be a "number" imprinted on the FET??

If the FET is good, it wouldn't be difficult to replace all of the other components. If there is a part number on the FET, that may be available or a suitable substitute could be used to replace it.

Perhaps a complete board can be obtained from Icom??
