Awesome!
Our CB area called it a "Lolipop" back in 1979.

Bought one new in '77 for $42 if memory serves. Have a '80 model Silver Eagle now that I rewired and replaced crystal with an electret cartridge. Great mics...

I found it funny they refused to say the nickname "Chicken Choker" as too crude. I can hear cruder things at any Jr High... excuse me, Middle School, and that was true when I was a student.

1104c was better

1104c was better

It was good, I still have a 10D, well it's on loan to a friend, who uses it on his 101 for AM
I preferred the wider range of the dynamic
element, it always sounded better to me than the crystal did, notably more on AM...

Yes, the 10D was hard to beat as well
