Sears Amplified Microphone

[Big Kahuna]

I've seen a couple of these come up lately and I've never owned one. I'm wondering if they were made by Turner for Sears and if so which model Turner they most closely matched - +3, +3B, Sidekick?

HAH! I saw those and have been wondering the same thing...I guess I'll find out - I just bought the one from the last link

Right on - give me a report! Weird that suddenly I'm seeing a bunch of them when I didn't see many for years.

Would not be surprised if they were made by Turner for Sears, I have seen these pop up on local buy and sell, also interested in how it performs.

I’ve got one of those SEARS mics wired 5-pin for my Uniden radios (Washington & Grant XL).

Works but folks say not as loud as the Turner Plus Three...might need some parts replaced. Drives the radio & amp about the same as a factory hand mike. Made of plastic instead of pot metal like the Turners.
