mic element

[tvrc18]

I have a HTX-100 that has a bad mic element. Any suggestions on what type or brand to replace it with. I really don't want to buy a new mic so want to try and just replace the element.

Any dynamic element with around a 600 ohm impedance will work.

I thought it was an electic type because it uses 8 volts in the mic circuit. Not sure what the difference is though.

No it's a dynamic take a look at the service manual and schematic.

Another way to tell is by looking at element the difference between an electret and dynamic is easy to see.
