Turner Plus Three on a Yaesu FT-757?

Just got a Yaesu FT-757 on EBay. It comes with a hand mic but I'd like to use it with a desk mic. I have a nice Tuner Plus Three that I'd like to use. I know the stock Yaesu mic has "up/down" buttons but I don't generally use that sort of feature except when operating 2-meter mobile and switching memory channels for different repeaters. Looking at the Yaesu mic wiring diagram in the manual it looks like I only need 3 pins on an 8-pin connector, but I'm not sure how to integrate the Turner wiring into that. Can someone help me out here, please?

Good evening. Not sure if this might be of any help. I had the turner wiring somewhere, but for the life of me cant find the pic.
*found a substitute pinout for turner +3*

They sound exquisite on a Yaesu. I had used one for many years on the 757 and it truly was and excellent match.
I have never had one or a 757 but have heard plenty of them and they just don't sound good. I really hate the turner sound to begin with so that could come into play.

    So I have a cobra 138xlr and the meter dose not work... It dose not key up and signal dose not work.... It is not stuck it the meter moves freely. now wires are resoldered on both ends...So now that do I look at. Could it be a diode or a transistor?
