Astatic mic cord is too long

All Chinese since 2009 or so.
The genuine Telex ones were great.

 

Agreed. And America was a cleaner, brighter place as well. (No sarcasm).

In 1960 a man could go to work full-time, get married, and in a few years he & his wife could have saved enough for a down payment on a house. Whereupon she stayed home to raise their children.

What has happened since is purely enemy action.

 

That was you talking $&#% from behind the curtains in the sleeper at the Carnesville Petro last Tuesday night, wasn’t it?

I was in Georgia last week, but I was stuck in the shop at the Atlanta Petro. I wish I were getting out all the way to Carnesville, but I'm not enough of a super trucker to pretend that I was.

 

I tried one with the chrome straight cord didn't care for it because it was too long as well. I took loop fasteners designed for wire runs around the house and used existing screws and a retractable mike hanger to keep things neat. I now use those same loops to a existing screw or radio bracket knobs and run mike cord thru it to keep stress off the mike cord where it comes out of the microphone to radio connector. Recently I plucked a General Lee radio out of the trash bin a driver had tossed. I told him to try a new mike when he described his problem. The cord was messed up right where it exits the connector. He chose to toss it. I put a new mike on it and put it in my pick up, works fine.

 

Lucky break for you on that radio!
