Not aware of any, may have been some basic tone mods but thats an excellent old mic, I'd leave it stock, buy a new D104M6 if you want one to play with...

What's not to like - as it is? I think that is the BEST mic for dollar spent - to this day! Even the newer models are excellent. Can't go wrong with it.

I think the older D104's battery situation is a bit outdated - though. The newer D104's require the common and much cheaper 9v battery - instead of the older and harder-to-find 'stacked' battery found in the older models of these mics. Which are twice the price as the more common 9v. Other than that - either model sounds the same to me - the best mobile mic! I wouldn't change it at all...

I agree the Astatic Minuteman II D-104 is a super mobile fist mic, i love them. Great for SSB work. I might put a .01 mf capacitor on the mic to tame it a bit. Any thoughts guys?
