A friend had these in a box in the basement of his shop. Bought them a few yrs ago. Had 3 but I sold one. Dont see these everyday.

My all-time favorite high-impedance hand mike was the 350C with the ceramic element. Loudest mike I ever had for a Yaesu FT-101.

Until it got plugged into a miswired Browning transmitter one day. First key put 300 Volts DC onto the element. Made a tiny, pathetic "crinkle" sound.

It's last.

Some days are like that.
