Hey Tony:
You might have a rare very high colectible item from "The Munsters" TV Show,Herman's Microphone or Grandpa's.

The older Cobra and Uniden stock mics were called Coffin style mics.
 
You might take a picture of it Tony if you can and let us see what it looks like.
 
Sounds like the Astatic "Bum 1" hand microphone.Pretty
hefty/heavy and bulky too I'll bet? Alot of guys swore by there
audio but said they were worth it aside from being an ugly mic!
I personally never held one or seen one up close let alone heard one. This is just what I always heard and read.
A pic would help a bunch tho.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
