A STUDIO TYPE MICROPHONE FOR THE SHACK

| By an amazing stroke of luck, it turns out that the ICOM mic capsule and preamp are a nice snug fit inside the flared out end of a vacuum cleaner stem. The fine bronze mesh from behind the face of the old microphone is a neat fit too. The yellow trim is simply the cap from a cordial bottle with the center cut out. All fits snugly - no need for glue. |

The "acoustic suspension" is 4 sturdy rubber bands around the stem, top and bottom, fore and aft. Friction holds everything safely together. The bands pass through holes drilled in the outer cage. The cage is a three (3) inch length of 2 inch PVC pipe. The picture will hopefully be worth a thousand words.
BTW.... don't go hacking up the old lady's appliance. Do the Australian thing and get yer Hoover doover from the the tip!
